Travel

Today’s featured song: Walking This Road by Silverwind, from their self-titled 1981 debut album.

Our travel through songs played on CCM radio in 1984 continues with track 11 from Tape JM-31. Demonstrating that this group’s first album had staying power on the radio, here is a song from that release still in rotation three years later. The fact that I included this in my recording, and that I have four other tracks from this album on my various JM tapes, indicates that I enjoyed Silverwind’s sound.

Sadly, this recording is muddy and not as distinct as I would like; it sounds far better on the actual record album (or MP3 track).

Times I felt life wouldn’t work out
Thinking no hope was in sight
Then right at my lowest
Outward would come a shining light

To brighten my days, giving me faith
To keep inside my heart
Now that I’m seeing, not merely believing
I’m making a start

Walking this road is making me strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
All along the way
Walking this road is making my strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
All along the way

Things I’ve gone through can’t always explain
Questions fill my soul
But I know there’s reasons and throughout the seas ons
I’m believing more

Cause I’ve heard a whisper that’s calling my heart
To stay on this narrow road
I feel so unworthy, but I’m running early
To follow the Lord

Walking this road is making me strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
All along the way
Walking this road is making me strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
I know he’s been changing me

Walking this road is making me strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
All along the way
Walking this road is making me strong
My faith is in Jesus
I know he’s been changing me
All along the way …
