Walk This Way To Jesus, Proverbs 16 9

Proverbs 16 9

Open in the Worship Library

Lyrics

[Intro]

(Shriek/Scat) Yeah! Ow! Check it out now!

[Verse 1]
I had a pad, I had a pen

Trying to map out where and when

I had a plan to hit the town

Burn every single bridge right down

I thought I’m smart, I thought I’m slick

Trying to make the big clock tick

I drove real fast, I ran real hot

Thinking I controlled the lot!

[Chorus]

A man can plan his course all day!

Try to roll and have his say!

But Jesus guides the steps you take!

Every little move you make!

Drop the map and drop the pride!

Take a ride with the Lord inside!

[Verse 2]
The tires spun, the smoke went high

Underneath a stormy sky

My heavy engine started to break

From every crazy turn I'd make

I hit the wall, I lost the race

Flat on my back in a dirty place

My simple plans all went to trash

Ended up in a total crash!

[Chorus]

A man can plan his course all day!

Try to roll and have his say!

But Jesus guides the steps you take!

Every little move you make!

Drop the map and drop the pride!

Take a ride with the Lord inside!

[Bridge]

(Vocal ad-libs over solo) Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Listen to me now!

You ain't running this show!

Got to let the Savior go!

[Verse 3] (Call to Faith and Salvation)
So Lord, I’m down here on my knees

Saying, "Jesus, hear my plea!"

Forgive my sins and wash me clean

Sweetest grace I’ve ever seen

I turn around, I change my way

Jesus Christ, be Lord today!

[Chorus]

A man can plan his course all day!

Try to roll and have his say!

But Jesus guides the steps you take!

Every little move you make!

Drop the map and drop the pride!

Take a ride with the Lord inside!

[Outro]

Yeah! He guides my steps!

Every single step!

Walk this way to Jesus!

Jesus Christ, You're the Lord!

Yeah, yeah, ow!
