[Verse 1] When the morning finds you certain That you’ve walked the road just right Pause beside the open doorway Ask what guides your steps tonight A heart can lose its careful footing While the hands still carry on So we turn the lamp toward inward places And see where strength has gone [Pre-Chorus] Not to count our worth in worry Not to live beneath a chain But to welcome loving counsel And begin our growth again [Chorus] Keep examining your heart, dear friend See if faith is living there Let humility become your shelter Let your prayers become your care You may stand, yet still keep watchful You may know, yet still seek more With Jehovah’s help beside you You can grow as never before [Verse 2] Roots are deepened by the weather Branches bend and do not break Maturity is not a finish It’s the choices that we make When the world presents its patterns And invites us to belong Hold the teachings close and test them Choose the path that keeps you strong [Pre-Chorus] Those who know the road can stumble Those who serve can lose their way So we ask for help with honest hearts And return to truth each day [Chorus] Keep examining your heart, dear friend See if faith is living there Let humility become your shelter Let your prayers become your care You may stand, yet still keep watchful You may know, yet still seek more With Jehovah’s help beside you You can grow as never before [Bridge] Epaphras prayed through every season For the friends he loved to see Complete in courage, firm in kindness Steady, faithful, growing free Paul reminded those believers What the years can teach us all Even strong and seasoned servants Need a hand when storms arise and call [Final Chorus] Keep examining your heart, dear friend See if faith is living there Let humility become your shelter Let your prayers become your care When the road feels long and heavy You are not alone at all With Jehovah’s help beside you You can rise each time you fall [Outro] Keep on growing, keep on trusting Let your heart stay soft and true Every day of faithful progress Is a gift renewed in you
