Song Title: He Kept Walking
Author: Michelle McDonald Cobb
Verse 1
On the Fourth of July, under fireworks’ glow,
A bullet came down from someone’s show.
Hand in hand we walked that ground,
He took his last step, then Heaven found.
Verse 2
We miss his light, how he filled the room,
With song and spirit that could lift the gloom.
He said death’s not the end, it’s a door you face,
Just transportation to your final place.
Chorus
He kept walking, walking home,
Right into Heaven, not alone.
No time for goodbyes, no last word,
It was time for him to be present with the Lord.
He kept walking on and on,
Into forever, into God’s arms.
Verse 3
“If you’re not ready, meet the Lord,
Pray like a friend, believe His Word.
Make right choices, love while you can,
For you don’t know the hour, you don’t know the plan.”
Bridge
And the man who fired, I know John’s heart —
Forgiveness is right where he’d start.
But knowledge, truth, and love demand,
We seek the answer, we take a stand.
Chorus
He kept walking, walking home,
Right into Heaven, not alone.
The rescuer, preacher, husband, friend,
A life well-lived that will not end.
Chorus
He kept walking, walking home,
Right into Heaven, not alone.
He kept walking on and on,
Into forever, into God’s arms.
