Lyrics
Order my steps in Your word dear Lord
Lead me, guide me everyday
Send Your anointing, Father I pray;
Order my steps in Your word
Please, order my steps in Your word
Order my steps in Your word dear Lord
Lead me, guide me everyday
Send Your anointing, Father I pray;
Order my steps in Your word
Please, order my steps in Your word
Humbly, I ask Thee teach me Your will
While You are working, help me be still
'Cos Satan is busy, God is real;
Order my steps in Your word
Please, order my steps in Your word
Bridle my tongue let my words edify
Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Thy sight
Take charge of my thoughts both day and night;
Order my steps in Your word
Please order my steps in Your word
I want to walk worthy
According to Thy will
Please order my steps Lord
And I'll do Your blessed will
The world is ever changing
But You are still the same;
Please order my steps, Lord I'll praise Your name
Order my steps in Your word
Order my tongue in Your word
Guide my feet in Your word
Wash my heart in Your word
Show me how to walk in Your word
Show me how to talk in Your word
When I need a brand new song to sing
Show me how to let Your praises ring
In your word, in your word
Please order my steps in Your word
Please order my steps in Your word
I want to walk worthy
According to Thy will
Please order my steps Lord
And I'll do Your blessed will
The world is ever changing
But You are still the same;
Please order my steps, Lord I'll praise Your name
I want to walk worthy
According to Thy will
Please order my steps Lord
And I'll do Your blessed will
The world is ever changing
But You are still the same;
Please order my steps, Lord I'll praise Your name
Please order my steps in Your word
Please order my steps in Your word

Meaning & Inspiration
Order My Steps is a prayer for a life governed by the word of God. Its petitions move from outward conduct to inward formation: guided feet, disciplined speech, ordered thoughts, and a cleansed heart. The repeated request gives the song a posture of humility, while the contrast between a changing world and an unchanging God supplies confidence for obedience. Rather than presenting spiritual growth as self-directed effort, the lyric places direction and transformation in the hands of the Lord.\n\nSeveral phrases closely echo biblical prayer. The desire for acceptable words recalls the psalmist asking that both speech and meditation please God, while the request for ordered steps reflects Scripture as a lamp for the path. The wish to walk worthily also connects worship with daily conduct. Together, these themes make the song both a plea for guidance and a commitment to praise. Its repetition reinforces dependence on God without shifting attention away from the central prayer: that every part of life would come under the direction of his word.
