Guided by God

“For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death” (Psalm 48:14).  “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5,6). 

Our life is a road filled with many a snare, 
So who is sufficient for guiding our soul?
How good is our God who assures us He’s there!
How wise is the one who will give Him control!

With all of our heart and in all of our ways
We need to acknowledge and trust in the Lord,
To live out our life for the rest of our days
In paths of His righteousness, daily restored.

How great is the blessing of walking with God
Who governs the planets and named every star,
Who wisely will guide with His staff and His rod,
And promises always to be where we are.

How foolish indeed is the one who rejects
The guidance of God to direct every path.
There is no escape for the one who neglects
To call upon God who will save us from wrath.

How gracious, O Lord, is the guidance You give!
How bright is the path of Your counsel and love!
Our moments are few on this earth that we live,
So guide us each day till we’re with You above.
