Sorry.

An incorrect transcription of a verse of "Order My Steps" occurs on a number of lyric websites. Here's what I believe are the correct lyrics of that 2002 [?]song:

ORDER MY STEPS
Artist - Donnie Mcclurkin
Album - Various Songs

(Choir)
Order my steps in Your Word, Dear Lord
Lead me, guide me every day
Send Your anointing, Father, I pray
Order my steps in Your Word, YES
Order my steps in Your Word

(Lead)
Humbly I ask Thee, teach me Thy will
While You are working, I will keep still *
Satan is busy, God is real
Order my steps in Your Word, YES
Order my steps in Your Word

Write on my tongue, let my words edify
Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Thy sight
Take charge of my thoughts both day and night
Order my steps in Your Word, YES
Order my steps in Your Word

(Choir)
Order my steps in Your Word, Dear Lord
Lead me, guide me every day
Send Your anointing, Father, I pray
Order my steps in Your Word, YES
Order my steps in Your Word

I want to walk worthy, my calling to fulfill
Yes, order my steps Lord
And I'll do Your blessed will
The world is ever changing
But You are still the same
If You order my steps, I'll praise Your name

Order my steps in Your Word
Order my tongue in Your Word
Wash my heart in Your Word
Guide my feet in Your Word
Show me how to walk in Your Word
Show me how to talk in Your Word
Provide me a brand new song to sing
Show me how to let Your praises ring
In Your Word, in Your Word, YES

Order my steps in Your Word, YES
Order my steps in Your Word

* There's some disagreement about this line. I think that the correct words are "While you are working help me be still"
