The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be,
Got to be, got to be.
Walking in the presence of the Almighty,
Almighty, Almighty.

No more standing in the shadows,
I'll walk the straight and narrow.
Or waiting on the sidelines,
I know you're always at my side.
For you are always with me,
And you know what's best for me.
So keep me from the darkness,
And let the light of Your love,
Just shine on me.

The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be,
Got to be, got to be.
Walking in the presence of the Almighty,
Almighty, Almighty.

Walk in righteousness, along the path of justice.
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord, yeah!
Walk in obedience, to [bad word] 
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord, yeah!

The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be,
Got to be, got to be.
Walking in the presence of the Almighty,
Almighty, Almighty.

No more standing in the shadows,
I'll walk the straight and narrow.
Or waiting on the sidelines,
I know you're always at my side.
Don't turn to the right or the left,
Just follow His steps,
Walk upright in the sight of the Lord, yeah!

The Spirit of the Lord I've got to be,
Got to be, got to be.
Walking in the presence of the Almighty,
Almighty, Almighty.
