Straight Paths & Holy Fear

Verse 1

One who judges by his own mind

Leans on wisdom born of pride.

What seems right before his eyes

Leads the heart where darkness lies.

(Judges 21:25; Proverbs 14:12)

Chorus

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

Lean not on what you know.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

He will make your pathways straight.

(Proverbs 3:5–6)

Verse 2

Your word, O LORD, my guiding flame,

Light that guards me from my shame.

Those who walk apart from truth

Trip where pride conceals the proof.

(Psalm 119:105)

Bridge

The fear of the LORD is wisdom’s start,

To hate all evil, pride, and lies.

He guards the path of righteous ones,

And makes the humble walk upright.

(Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 8:13; Proverbs 2:6–8)
