Touched By An Angel Theme Song Lyrics

When you walk down the road Heavy burden, heavy load I will rise and I will walk with you I’ll walk with you Until the sun don’t even shine Walk with you I’ll be there all the time I tell you, I’ll walk with you Believe me, I’ll walk with you

Behind the Tune: Meaning & Story

The Touched By An Angel Theme Song, titled “Walk with You,” is a poignant gospel-inspired anthem that defined the emotional landscape of 1990s television. Composed by Marc Lichtman with lyrics by the show’s executive producer Martha Williamson, the song served as a weekly reminder of the series’ central message: that no one is ever truly alone.

The track is famously performed by the late Della Reese, who starred in the series as Tess. Reese, an ordained minister and accomplished jazz and gospel singer, brought a unique authority and warmth to the vocals. The song’s lyrics—”I will rise and I will walk with you”—perfectly mirror the mission of the show’s protagonist angels, Monica and Tess, as they guided humans through life’s most difficult crossroads.

Airing for nine seasons and 211 episodes, the series became a massive hit for CBS, proving there was a significant audience for faith-based, uplifting storytelling. The theme song was so popular that it was featured on a platinum-selling soundtrack album, often performed by Reese alongside the Verity All-Stars in an extended version that became a staple of inspirational music.
