Walk softly
Language: English 
When we assemble here to worship God,
To sing his praises & to hear his word
  We will walk softly.

With purity of heart and with clean hands,
Our souls are free, we're free from Satan's bands,
  We will walk softly.

While we are passing through the sacred door,
Into the fold where Christ has gone before,
  We will walk softly.

We'll worship and bow down, we will rejoice,
And when we hear the Shepherd's gentle voice,
  We will walk softly.
