Proverbs 16 9

I had a map drawn out in my old worn hands

Thought I knew this life and where I’d stand

Chased neon lights down broken roads

Carried heavy dreams and a heart full of hope

But every time I ran too far ahead

Life would shake me up instead

Then I heard a quiet voice in the night

Sayin’, “Son, everything’s gonna be alright”

“The heart of man plans his way,

But the Lord establishes his steps”

That old truth carried me through

Every loss and every wreck

When I thought I knew the answers

And I was lost in my regret

God kept leadin’ me forward

One established step at a time

I’ve seen hard days and empty skies

Felt the sting of truth and the weight of lies

But mercy showed up right on cue

When I didn’t know what else to do

Now I don’t fear these winding roads

‘Cause I know who’s in control

Every door that closes tight

Just means He’s guiding me tonight

“The heart of man plans his way,

But the Lord establishes his steps”

Through the valleys and the storms

And all the tears I’ve wept

I can trust the road before me

Even when I can’t see yet

God keeps leadin’ me onward

One established step at a time

I may stumble, I may fall

But I know He’s over all

Every mile, every breath

He’s been faithful through it all

“The heart of man plans his way,

But the Lord establishes his steps”

So I’ll keep walkin’ by faith

And leave the rest to Him

‘Cause where I end and where He starts

Is where real life begins

Yeah, the Lord keeps leadin’ me

One established step at a time
