about

I will go before you
And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.

Isaiah 45:2-3, NKJ

lyrics

YOU MAKE THE CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT

Verse 1
STRAIGHTEN ME LORD, I’M CROOKED, STRAIGHTEN ME LORD, I’M BENT
STRAIGHTEN ME TO DO YOUR WILL, STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW IS SENT

Verse 2
STRAIGHTEN ME IN YOUR WISDOM, STRAIGHTEN ME WITH YOUR GRACE
STRAIGHTEN ME TO DO AS YOU DO— TO REFLECT YOUR FACE

1ST Chorus
I WANT TO BE FREE . . . TO BECOME YOUR LOVE
FREE TO FLOW IN YOUR WAYS
TO RADIATE YOUR HEALING
YOU MAKE THE CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT

Verse 3
STRAIGHTEN ME LORD, I’M WOBBLY
I’M NEARLY FALLING DOWN
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL LIFT ME UP
YOU ALWAYS HOLD MY HAND

Verse 4
COME MEND ME, LORD, I’M BROKEN
UNEVEN, FULL OF LUMPS
YOUR WAYS ARE ALWAYS SIMPLE
YOU’RE SMOOTHING OUT THE RUTS

2ND Chorus
I WILL BE FREE . . . TO BECOME YOUR LOVE
FREE TO FLOW IN YOUR WAYS
TO RADIATE YOUR HEALING
YOU MAKE THE CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT

Ending
I WILL BE FREE . . . TO BECOME YOUR LOVE
I WILL BE FREE TO FLOW IN YOUR WAYS
TO RADIATE YOUR HEALING
YOU MAKE THE CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT
