Lead Me On Lyrics - Amy Grant

Shoulder to the wheel 

For someone else's selfish gain 

Here there is no choosing 

Working the clay 

Wearing their anger like a ball and chain. 

Fire in the field 

Underneath a blazing sun 

But soon the sun was faded 

And freedom was a song 

I heard them singing when the day was done 

Singing to the holy One. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

To a place where the river runs 

Into your keeping, oh. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

The awaited deliverance 

Comforts the seeking, lead on. 

Waiting for the train 

Labelled with a golden star 

Heavy hearted boarding 

Whispers in the dark 

"Where are we going--is it very far?" 

Bitter cold terrain 

Echoes of a slamming door 

In chambers made for sleeping, forever 

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar 

Cry to the Lord. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

To a place where the river runs 

Into your keeping, oh. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

The awaited deliverance 

Comforts the seeking, lead on. 

Man hurts man 

Time and time, time again 

And we drown in the wake of our power 

Somebody tell me why. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

To a place where the river runs 

Into your keeping, oh. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

The awaited deliverance 

Comforts the seeking, lead on. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

To a place where the river runs 

Into your keeping, oh. 

Lead me on 

Lead me on 

The awaited deliverance 

Comforts the seeking, lead on.
