Overall Meaning

The Mighty Clouds of Joy's "Order My Steps" is a song that seeks divine guidance and instruction from God. The song starts with a series of rhetorical questions—Is God good? All the time?—that are meant to affirm God's goodness repeatedly. The singer then pleads with God to "order [their] steps" according to God's Word and to send an anointing to guide and empower them on this path.


Throughout the song, the singer reverently implores God to instruct them in every aspect of their life. They ask for help in taming the tongue, guiding the feet, and purifying the heart. They seek a new song to sing, one that is inspired by and praising of God, and they strive to fulfill their calling and do God's perfect will. The repeated plea for God to "order my steps in Your Word" communicates a deep sense of trust and surrender to God's wisdom and sovereignty.


The song conveys a message of humility and reliance on God's grace and guidance. It acknowledges that the world is ever-changing, but God remains the same, and therefore, it is essential to seek God's instruction in all things. The song ultimately expresses the desire to live a life that is pleasing and obedient to God.
