Help me walk from day to day,

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,

Till I see my Savior’s face,
  Leave His presence never.

To them it is worthless

To us it worth it all.

To them is was punishment

To us a divine strategy for eternal defeat.

To them it was death

To us it was a price.

I'M FOREVER IN LOVE WITH THE CROSS.

What a hymn, I get slain under the anointing whenever I listen to it. It brings me under grace and mercy in the cross.

This song is a healing song to me.

Great song very inspirational


Kalali Peter

Mukono, Uganda

What a great hymn! When I hear such songs I feel heaven. Hymns full of anointing to lift the weary! Glory and honor to God.


Ajax Tyler

This is my healing song I found for my victory


Jim Sahm

Thames, Waikato, New Zealand

Wonderful hymn written by one of the most joy filled hymn writers of all times. Not the theological rigor of an Isaac Watts nor the poetic depth of a Charles Wesley, but unequalled in her expression of simple Christian joy. I suspect that there will be of Fanny Crosby’s hymns sung in heaven than any other author.

I find great comfort in this wonderful hymn that I remember from my childhood. I especially gravitate to the lines: "Help me walk from day to day, with its shadows o'er me".


Gloria Okon

Traveling by road and found this hymn needful. Jesus the true leader through life situations.
