Show Me Your Way

About This Song

David wrote Psalm 25 as a man surrounded — by enemies, by decisions, by roads he could not see the end of. And his prayer was not "show me the outcome." It was "show me Your way."

This song sits in that same place: the divided road, the closed door, the answer that still delays. The writer wanted to name the two quiet enemies of guidance — the path of hurry and the pull of fear — because most wrong turns are taken at speed or in panic, not in stillness.

The chorus stays close to David's words, and the bridge became the heart of the song: step by step, day by day. Not the whole map — a lamp for the feet. The prayer is not to see it all, but to be willing to follow without seeing, trusting that the Guide is good and that no one who waits on Him has ever truly walked alone.

Devotional

"Your word is a lamp for my feet" — a lamp, not a floodlight. It shows the next step, not the next decade. Most of us would prefer the floodlight; God, in His wisdom, gives the lamp, because the lamp keeps us close to Him.

Psalm 25 teaches a way of praying about decisions that begins not with the decision but with the Guide: "You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long." When the door you want is closed and the answer still delays, He is working in the hidden place. Let His word be your compass and His peace decide your pace.

What decision are you facing today? Before asking "which way?", pray "Your way." The surrendered heart hears best.

Show me Your way, teach me Your path. Not my timing, not my plan — I place tomorrow in Your hands. Amen.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Show me Your way, teach me Your path
Lead me in truth and hold me fast

[Verse 1]
When the road divides before me
And I cannot see beyond
When a thousand voices call me
Be the voice I lean upon
Keep me from the path of hurry
Keep me from the pull of fear
I don't need to know the ending
I just need to know You're near

[Pre-Chorus]
Not my timing, not my plan
I place tomorrow in Your hands

[Chorus]
Show me Your way, teach me Your path
Lead me in truth and don't let me turn back
You are my Savior, my hope all day
I will wait for You
Show me Your way

[Verse 2]
When the door I want is closed
And the answer still delays
Help me trust that You are working
Even in the hidden place
Let Your word become my compass
Let Your peace decide my pace
When I cannot see the pathway
I will follow after grace

[Pre-Chorus]
Not my timing, not my plan
I place tomorrow in Your hands

[Chorus]
Show me Your way, teach me Your path
Lead me in truth and don't let me turn back
You are my Savior, my hope all day
I will wait for You
Show me Your way

[Bridge]
Step by step, day by day
Your word will be the lamp
Your presence be the way
Step by step, day by day
I don't have to see it all
To follow where You lead
Through the valley, through the unknown
You have never left me
I have never walked alone
Through the waiting, through every change
You will still be faithful
You will always make a way

[Final Chorus]
Show me Your way, teach me Your path
Lead me in truth and don't let me turn back
You are my Savior, my hope all day
I will wait for You
Show me Your way

[Outro]
Step by step, day by day
I will wait for You — show me Your way
Step by step, day by day
I will follow You — show me Your way
You are my Savior, my hope all day
I will wait for You
Show me Your way
