Inspired by Joshua 1:7, Galatians 5:25, I Peter 2:21, Proverbs 8:20
II John 1:6, I John 1:7, Proverbs 4:27 and I John 3:19
"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit."
Galatians 5:25
The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be
Got to be, Got to be
Walking in the presence of the Almighty
Almighty, Almighty (Repeat)
No more standing in the shadows
I'll walk the straight and narrow
Or waiting on the sidelines
I know you're always at my side
For you are always with me
And you know what's best for me
So keep me from the darkness
And let the light of
Your love just shine on me
The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be
Got to be, Got to be
Walking in the presence of the Almighty
Almighty, Almighty (Repeat)
Walk in righteousness
Along the path of justice
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord
Yeah!
Walk in obedience
To His commandments
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord
Yeah!
The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be
Got to be, Got to be
Walking in the presence of the Almighty
Almighty, Almighty (Repeat)
No more standing in the shadows
I'll walk the straight and narrow
Or waiting on the sidelines
I know you're always at my side
Don't turn to the right or the left
Just follow His steps
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord
Yeah!
The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be
Got to be, Got to be
Walking in the presence of the Almighty
Almighty, Almighty (Repeat)
