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)
