We’re going with Jesus, walking together,
Over the path he has trod,
And up every mountain down every valley,
We walk along with God.
He is the author of our life
Our comforter and friend.
He’s with us now and he will be
Right with us to the end.
In working for the Lord on earth
One thing you’ll find is true,
The good you do will all come back
A hundred fold to you.
We’ve heard his word we know it’s true,
He came to save the world;
Let’s help the people, all the people,
Jesus keeps his word.
O Lamb of God you died for us,
You taught us how to live.
To love each other, help each other,
Just the way you did.
Love’s like a candle God sets out,
To light your world and mine.
If each of us would light but one
Just think how it would shine.

Chorus:We’re going with Jesus, walking together,
Over the path he has trod,
And up every mountain down every valley,
We walk along with God.
He is the author of our life
Our comforter and friend.
He’s with us now and he will be
Right with us to the end.
In working for the Lord on earth
One thing you’ll find is true,
The good you do will all come back
A hundred fold to you.
We’ve heard his word we know it’s true,
He came to save the world;
Let’s help the people, all the people,
Jesus keeps his word.
O Lamb of God you died for us,
You taught us how to live.
To love each other, help each other,
Just the way you did.
Love’s like a candle God sets out,
To light your world and mine.
If each of us would light but one

Thank you for the melody. I only knew the chorus and noe I've learnt the verses too.
