Doris Akers - He's A Light Unto My Pathway

This is a truly sublime song written by Doris and released on her 1957 RCA solo album. This is what Doris had to say about the inspiration behind this song:

"Sometimes I sit at the piano and just want to write something that will make everyone know just how I feel about God. This was one of those times". -- Doris Akers

He's a light unto my pathway
He's a lamp unto my feet
When in darkness I was groping
He showed the way to me

He's my bread when I am hungry
When I thirst He does supply
And when others can't be trusted
On God I can rely

Glorious living just depending on His Word
He's always giving our every prayer is heard

When I pray its with thanksgiving
At the throne we daily meet
He's a light unto my pathway
And a lamp unto my feet

What A Godly Lady, I met Doris the first time with aubrey C. Lee, in their coverted Theater Church in Los Angles, and when the Sky Pilot Choir came marching in I just knew I was about to fly away. Praise God for her ministry then, because I am 85 and still love Him and will meet her, my Saviour and my dear wife again one of these days in heavenly mansions He is preparing for us all. Derrill E.

Ms. Akers is one of those songwriters that stand with T.A. Dorsey, Roberta Martin and Kenneth Morris. Her light will never go out.

Words cannot discribe the beauty and the presence of the Lord you feel when you listen with your heart as she sings this song. God certainly has blessed us by hearing this as she sings to Him! Thank you for sharing! I have loved hearing her all my life and never fail to feel her love for the Lord of her life.
