Psalm 5 – Make Your Way Clear
Lyrical Seed
[Verse 1 — softly spoken]
Before the waking city,
before the noise begins,
I bring You all my questions
and wait for light within.
[Response — lightly sung]
Make Your way clear before me,
lead me into what is true.
Through the mercy that surrounds me,
I will walk the day with You.
[Verse 2 — softly spoken]
Let no polished lie deceive me,
nor bitterness become my guide.
Keep my words from causing sorrow;
make my heart and voice align.
[Response — gentle harmony]
Make Your way clear before me,
lead me into what is true.
Be my shelter in the morning;
let my joy begin in You.
[Bridge — harp gently rising]
You hear the prayer beneath my words,
the sigh too deep to name.
I enter through Your faithful love
and rest beneath Your grace.
[Final Response — soft and spacious]
Make Your way clear…
I will walk the day with You.
