Prayer Is the Key to Righteousness

Lord, please lead me in what is right,

When enemies come, be my light.

Show me the way You want me to go,

Make my steps steady and slow.

Make my heart clean, make it new,

Give me thoughts that honor You.

I can’t live right on my own,

Help me follow You alone.

🎶 Prayer is the key to living right,

Not my power, but Your might.

I lift my hands, I speak Your name,

Make me holy, take my shame.

When we ask for what is true,

You give us strength to follow You.

So I pray, Lord, help me be

The person You want to see. 🎶

Don’t let my heart choose what is bad,

Or chase the things that make You sad.

I don’t want what evil gives,

I just want the life You live.

🎵 If someone does wrong but prays to be right,

You will hear them, Lord, day or night.

But if they pray for worldly things,

Their prayer is wasted—it means nothing.

Unless You build, our work is lost,

Only You can pay the cost. 🎵

🎶 Prayer is the key to living right,

Not my power, but Your might.

I lift my hands, I speak Your name,

Make me holy, take my shame.

You give us strength to follow You.

So I pray, Lord, help me be

The person You want to see. 🎶

So I pray, Lord, help me be

The person You want to see.
