The plans of hearts belong to humankind,  

But answers come from Adonai alone.  

All ways seem pure to our deceiving mind,  

Yet motives weigh where truth and grace are shown.  

[REFRAIN]

Man plans his own way—  

Adonai directs his steps,  

Path shaped by heaven.

[VERSE]

Commit your works, and thoughts shall be made sure;  

Adonai made all for His own design—  

Even the wicked, judgment to endure,  

A day prepared, a justice so divine.  

[REFRAIN]

Man plans his own way—  

Adonai directs his steps,  

Path shaped by heaven.

[VERSE]

The king’s decree must stand, a sacred trust,  

His throne upheld by righteousness, not pride.  

Fair scales and weights are holy, firm and just,  

While haughty hearts and lies are cast aside.  

[REFRAIN]

Man plans his own way—  

Adonai directs his steps,  

Path shaped by heaven.

[BRIDGE]

Better a humble life with peace and grace  

Than wealth with strife in a divided place.

[REFRAIN]

Man plans his own way—  

Adonai directs his steps,  

Path shaped by heaven.
