Like Incense (with Sometimes By Step)

May my prayer like incense rise before You

The lifting of my hands as sacrifice

Oh Lord Jesus turn Your eyes upon me

For I know there is mercy in Your sight

Your statutes are my heritage forever

My heart is set on keeping Your decrees

Please still my anxious urge toward rebellion

Let Love keep my will upon its knees

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

To all creation I can see a limit

But Your commands are boundless and have none

So Your Word is my joy and meditation

From the rising to the setting of the sun

All Your ways are loving and are faithful

The road is narrow but Your burden light

Because You gladly lean to lead the humble

I shall gladly kneel to leave my pride

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

To all creation I can see a limit

But Your commands are boundless and have none

So Your Word is my joy and meditation

From the rising to the setting of the sun

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

Oh God

You are my God

And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning

I will learn to walk in Your ways

And step by step You'll lead me

And I will follow You all of my days
