Never Leap Before I Pray

VERSE 1
Take it from someone who jumped ahead when I shouldn’t
And didn’t wait for God to lead the way
I thought that I could do it by myself but I couldn’t
Didn’t think to ask what God would have to say……but now
CHORUS
I’m gonna use a little wisdom
Gonna seek so I can find
I’ll read God’s Word and follow Him
So I will know His mind
I’ll call on Him and move ahead in faith
And never ever leap before I pray
VERSE 2
When standing on the border of such a big decision
(and) I can’t see the consequences yet
I’ll look to my great God and take advice He has given
And trust that He will guide my every step
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I’ll trust in the Lord with all my heart; and lean not to my own understanding
In all my ways I’ll acknowledge him, and he will direct my paths.
