I have a compass that shows me the way
It keeps me on the right path, keeping me from harm's way. 

I have a moral compass deep inside me
Paying attention to it will keep my soul free

Morality is based on the teaching I have had
Using what I have learned wisely will make me glad

Having done something I shouldn't 
My moral compass is very prudent

The guilt I feel from performing a questionable task
Being judged by the truth deep inside, I dare not ask. 

Bowing my head and thanking my God
For being so wonderfully blest
