🎵 Song Title: “Lead Me in Your Righteousness (Psalm 5)”

🎶 Lyrics (Based directly on Psalm 5:1–12)

Verse 1 (Psalm 5:1–3)

Give ear to my words, O Lord,

Consider my sighs, my groans.

In the morning, I bring my prayer to You,

And wait in hope alone.

Verse 2 (Psalm 5:4–6)

You take no pleasure in wicked ways,

The proud won’t stand in Your gaze.

You hate deceit, and violent men —

But You are faithful again and again.

Chorus (Psalm 5:7–8)   

But I, by Your mercy, come into Your house,

In reverent fear, I bow down.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness —

Make straight the path where I walk now.

Verse 3 (Psalm 5:9–10)

Their words are false, their hearts are graves,

Their throat’s an open tomb of hate.

Declare them guilty, let them fall —

For they rebel against Your call.

Bridge (Psalm 5:11–12)

But let all who trust in You rejoice,

Let them sing aloud with one voice.

Spread Your protection over them —

For You bless the righteous again and again.

Final Chorus

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness,

Cover me with favor and love.

Let all who take refuge in You be glad —

You’re our shield from above.
