Michael W. Smith's song, adapted from Rich Mullins' lyrics, reflects on God's constant presence and guidance, using imagery from the Exodus story of a cloud by day and fire by night. The lyrics express trust in God's leading, cleansing, and the promise of a future hope, even when the promised land seems distant. The song also affirms the enduring nature of God's Word compared to the temporary world. It is a meditative piece about seeing God's hand in everyday life and creation, encouraging faith and perseverance.

Words By: Rich Mullins
Musical Adaptation By: Michael W. Smith
Lord, You're leading me
With a cloud by day
And then in the night
THe glow of a burning flame
And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you
And You take my hand
And You wash it clean
I know the promised land
Is light years ahead of me
And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you
And the eagle flies
And the rivers run
I look through the night
I can see the risin' sun
And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you
Well, the grass will die
And the flowers fall
But Your Word's alive
Will be after all
And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you
