ANTHEM: Lead Me on the Paths of Righteousness by Pepper Choplin
Lead me on the paths of righteousness, lead me on to follow Your way. Lead me on the paths of righteousness that all I do will honor Your name. Show the way to justice, show the way to truth. Fill me with wisdom and I will follow You. When I meet the darkness, fill me with Your light. Give me the courage to stand for what is right. When the world is complex and angry, when evil forces are strong, give me strength to walk Your pathway and press on to walk in kindness and mercy, and this will be enough. May all we do and live for stand for love. Lead me on the paths of righteousness. Let me walk a higher plane. When I wander into my selfishness, Lord, lead me back to follow Your way. Lead me on to love. Lead me on to peace. Lead me on and I will live to honor Your name. [Based on Psalm 23:3b]
