While running, one looks to Jesus, who endured the cross. Enslaved Africans knew shame and hostility, the lash, and the whip. In the end, they too would identify with Jesus, who had gone where they hoped to be. From a broader perspective, “Guide My Feet” provides assurance for the Christian journey.

The spiritual says, “Guide my feet, Lord, while I run this race.” Kenneth Morris (1917-1989), an African American Chicago-based composer and publisher, arranged a traditional gospel song or spiritual of unknown origin, “We’ve Come a Long Way, Lord,” with a similar theme:
1 Guide my feet while I run this race. Guide my feet while I run this race. Guide my feet while I run this race, for I don’t want to run this race in vain! 2 Hold my hand while I run this race. Hold my hand while I run this race. Hold my hand while I run this race.

Wonder, Love, and Praise #819. 820. Text: Guide my feet Lord. Tune: [Guide my feet Lord] Arranger: Carl Harris, Jr. (b. 1935) 819.
Guide my feet ... This African American spiritual is based on the imagery of "the race that is set before us" in Hebrews 12:1—2. Its call-and-response structure allows for the improvisation and addition of stanzas related to an athletic metaphor that is as vivid today as it was centuries ago.
