Straight and Narrow
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
O LORD I pray teach me Your way
And help me to do it everyday
Help me to walk along with You
And get to see all that You do
I want to bring my friends along
And help them all to grow really strong
And let me bring my children too
So, they can learn to walk with You
O LORD I pray teach me Your way
And never let me go astray
