The Steps of a Good Man, attributed to Truth, draws its words from Psalm 37:23–24: the Lord guides a person’s steps and upholds them when they fall.
[Verse 1]
Though he fall he shall not be
Utterly cast down
For the Lord upholds him
(Utterly cast down)
For the Lord upholds him
(Utterly cast down)
For the Lord upholds him
With His hand
[Chorus]
The steps of a good man
Are ordered by the Lord
The steps of a good man
Are ordered by the Lord
And He delights in his way
And He delights in his way
Lyrics by Truth
Song Meaning
“The Steps of a Good Man,” attributed here to Truth, repeats a promise of God’s guidance and support. The verse acknowledges that a person may fall; the chorus answers with the assurance that the Lord upholds him.
Bible Connection
The wording closely follows Psalm 37:23–24, where the Lord establishes a person’s steps and holds him up when he stumbles. The song’s repetition keeps both parts of that promise together.
For Worship
This short lyric can accompany prayer about guidance, perseverance, or trusting God after a setback.
