As I go through life and I walk in my way
And decide where I’m going and what I will do and I’ll say
Well I know I need wisdom so I’ll know what to do
So You stay right beside me telling me just to keep following You

I know You’re always there and You are because You care
So in everything I do and say, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today
So You lead me on in a way that will make me strong
As my mind it plans the way, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today

I know that I haven’t always followed Your voice
And sometimes I’ve failed You and gone and made the wrong choice
But I know You still love me and You still want to lead
So won’t You please guide me and get me back to where I need to be

I know You’re always there and You are because You care
So in everything I do and say, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today
So You lead me on in a way that will make me strong
As my mind it plans the way, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today

The mind of man plans his way
Well we’re hopin’ and prayin’ that we’re thinkin’ like we ought to Lord
But the Lord directs his steps now
Father You know that we need You to guide us so bad

I know You’re always there and You are because You care
So in everything I do and say, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today
So You lead me on in a way that will make me strong
As my mind it plans the way, please Lord won’t You guide my steps today
