This is a popular Indonesian Christian prayer song. I learned it during my undergraduate days in the early 1980s. Today, I'd like to post its lyrics and guitar chords here along with my translation into English. The English lyrics are "singable" in the original tune.
Oh Tuhan Pimpinlah Langkahku
Key: C
C F C — Am
Oh Tuhan pimpinlah langkahku
Dm G C — G
Ku tak b'rani jalan sendiri
C F Em — Am
SertaMu itulah doaku
Dm G7 C
Ajarku merendahkan diri
Dm G Em — Am
Menurut FirmanMu s'tiap hari
D D7 G D/A G/B G
Jadikan pelita dalam g'lap
C C7 F F#o
Mencari domba yang sesat
Em Am Dm G C
Itulah kerinduan jiwaku
O God, Guide my steps
O my God, guide my steps, lead my way
I'm afraid, I dare not walk alone
To be with you, O LORD, by your side
As I learn to humble myself
To abide by your word day by day
As a light that shines in the dark
To search — for sheep that are lost
That, O God, is the longing of my soul
