Walk Tall

Write about a piece of music that changed your life forever. What do you feel when you hear it now?

When I got baptized at 8 years old my mother had someone (I don’t remember who) sing this song at my baptism. I heard it countless times in other circumstances but in a lot ways hearing it in that moment – it defined me. Who I am inside and my character.

I’ve sung it to both my girls many times. I hope it does that for them someday too.

Walk Tall, You're a Daughter of God

Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart
A prayer for each of you there is a special part
That you remember who you are and Him who lives above
Please seek for Him and live His way you'll feel His love.

(Chorus)
Walk tall you're a daughter a child of God
Be strong please remember who you are
Try to understand you're part of His great plan
He's closer than you know
Reach up He'll take your hand.

Long before the time you can remember
Our Father held you in His arms so tender
Those loving arms released you as He sent you down to earth
He said my child I love you don't forget your great worth.

(Chorus)
Walk tall you're a daughter a child of God
Be strong please remember who you are
Try to understand you're part of His great plan
He's closer than you know
Reach up He'll take your hand.

This life on earth we knew would not be easy
At times we loose are way His path we may not see
But please remember always please that you are not alone
He'll take your hand He loves you He will guide you home.

(Chorus)
Walk tall you're a daughter a child of God
Be strong please remember who you are
Try to understand you're part of His great plan
He's closer than you know
Reach up He'll take your hand.
