This traditional song gives us the “heart” prayer of a person who wants the Lord to occupy the throne at the center of the person’s very being. Please give it a sing-along listen and see if you can put it to use “right-sizing” the troubles of this life and setting a course of glory.
Guide my feet
Some verses on guidance …
Isaiah 58:11 And the LORD will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Hold my hand
Some verses on “hold hand” …
Isaiah 41:13 For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Mark 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up.
Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Acts 3:7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
Acts 9:41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.
Search my heart
Some verses on “search my heart:…
Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
Jeremiah 17:10
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.
As we seek to have God occupy the throne room of our hearts, a good prayer would include asking Him to guide our feet.
God bless you lots!

Julia, Thanks for your note. I agree … this song has a wonderful message and conveys great heart. It was a new song to me, but judging from the number of different recordings of it on the internet I gather it has been a favorite of many for a long time. Most versions feature a large choir and amazing soloists. My version is not so fully staffed! But I think the song carries its own weight. But, yes indeed, learn of Him and get ready for THAT HEAVENLY KINGDOM. And … might I add … do everything we can with all the days we have to do kingdom work here and now, that His will might be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. “AMEN”! God bless you lots … Dale R.
