[Verse 1 — Male] Oh Lord, These mountains rise before me. I cannot see Where this road will end. I ask You To show me the whole way, When what I need Is grace for the step I’m in. The road is steep, The distance still unknown. Teach me to walk Where You would have me go. [Pre-Chorus — Female] Not every turn Must yet be known. Not every answer Must be shown. [Chorus — Male & Female] Direct my thoughts, Direct my words, Direct the work of my hands. Let what I do Be done for You, According to Your commands. I do not need To see the summit— Only the road You give today. Lord Jesus, Direct my steps, And keep me in Your way. [Verse 2 — Female] Oh Lord, So often I have hurried, Choosing the road Before I stopped to pray. I followed What seemed right before me, Then wondered why I slowly lost my way. Teach me to listen Before I speak. Teach me to pray Before I choose. Give me the wisdom To seek Your will, And the courage To follow through. [Chorus — Male & Female] Direct my thoughts, Direct my words, Direct the work of my hands. Let what I do Be done for You, According to Your commands. I do not need To see the summit— Only the road You give today. Lord Jesus, Direct my steps, And keep me in Your way. [Instrumental] [Verse 3 — Male/Female alternating] [Male] When I speak, Let truth guide my words. [Female] When I listen, Teach me to hear. [Male] When I act, Let love guide my hands. [Female] When I falter, Keep me near. [Male] When pride tells me To choose my own road— [Female] Turn my heart Again to You. [Both] Not what is easiest, Not what I want— But what You call me To do. [Bridge — Male/Female] [Male] My thoughts— [Female] Direct them, Lord. [Male] My words— [Female] Direct them, Lord. [Male] My hands— [Female] Direct them, Lord. [Both] My heart, My strength, My life— Let all of them Belong to You. [Final Chorus — Both] Direct our thoughts, Direct our words, Direct the work of our hands. Let what we do Be done for You, According to Your commands. We do not need To see the summit— Only the road You give today. Lord Jesus, Direct our steps, And keep us in Your way. [Outro — Male, Female answering] [Male] Step by step— [Female] Day by day— [Male] Not my will— [Female] But Yours, O Lord. [Both] Direct our steps, And keep us In Your way. Ah-men.
