That I might follow
Teach me from Your Word
So that my heart be true.
Guide me in the path of righteousness
O Father!
Turn my heart to You
Turn my heart to You!
Thy Word is very good
Thy Word is very good
O Lord! How I long for You!
Thy Word is very good
Thy Word is very good
O Lord! How I long for You!
O Lord! How I long for You, and Your Word!
Turn my eyes from vanities
Preserve my life, Lord
Be with me so all may see
Your love, and fear!
Turn away my troubles
Let my life be witness
That my God is near
That my God is here!
