Show Me Thy Ways, O Lord Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Home Recordings

(Words & Music Hazel Shade)
Show me Thy ways, O Lord
Show me Thy ways, O Lord
Help me love when I'm hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Jesus was more than just a man from Galilee
Christ the son of God, he died for you and me
They scorched him and walked him upon in delight (?)
Still Jesus loved them, forgave and he cried

Show me Thy ways, O Lord
Show me Thy ways, O Lord
Help me love when I'm hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me Thy ways, O Lord

Show me Thy ways, O Lord
Help me love when I'm hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me Thy ways, O Lord

You have got a couple of lines sooooo very wrong as does so many of the web sites out there. The real words are, "they scourged Him, and mocked Him, Upon Him tahey lied". That just shows how many that have written down the lyrics to this song, don't even know! Probably don't even know what happened to Jesus. He wasn't "scorched", but He was "scourged", and walked?? yes, He did, carrying His cross on His bloody back, and also, no wonder the word "delight" has a question mark because it doesn't even make sense. I can't believe how many links have these same wrong words. Janice

My mother is the author of this song. I have sung it countless times since she wrote it when I was little. The lines of which you are speaking are actually,
"They spat on, mocked Him and on Him they lied, Yet Jesus loved them, forgive them He cried.
Just thought I would clear that up for those who want to know.
Thank you, Diane Shade Orner
