Lead Me, Lord Jesus

Lead Me, Lord Jesus

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

 

Lead me, Lord Jesus,

Wherever You do please;

I long to bring You glory,

To You all things I release.

 

If You lead me to the mountain,

I will follow with gladdened heart.

If You lead me to the shores,

I will rejoice from the very start.

 

If You lead me in the valleys,

To You, Lord, I will cling.

If You bring me to dark waters,

I will celebrate the Light You bring.

 

Throughout my lifelong journey,

I will heed Your voice each day.

No path is of beauty and grace

Unless it is upon Your sacred Way.

 

So lead me, my precious Lord,

My life, each day, is fully Thine.

Sweet to live for You, my Master,

To abide in Your will divine.

 

I will follow Your lead, Lord,

Whithersoever You may go.

It is You, only You, Jesus,

Whom I long to know.

 

I will follow You always

No matter where the path may lead.

May I always be with You, Lord,

For this I pray and plead.

 

For, as a Lamb, You followed

The lead of Your Father Above.

You submitted Yourself to His will,

A Vessel of His Light and Love.

 

You followed Him to the desert,

You followed Him to Galilee,

You followed Him to the temple,

You followed Him to Gethsemane.

 

Every word of Your Father

You embraced and did fulfill.

You drank the cup He gave You,

Submitting humbly to His will.

 

As they nailed You to the Cross,

You, Master, retained full power.

Yet You accepted crucifixion,

For it was the appointed hour.

 

Sinless Lamb, pure and white,

Sacrificed for all on Calvary -

My soul quavers at the sight,

For my Lord died for me.

 

So You, my Master, I follow,

I know not what else to do;

You gave all of Yourself to me,

I give all of myself to You.

 

Lead me, beloved Lord,

Wherever You do please;

I long to bring You glory,

To You all things I release.

 

Yes, lead me, Lord Jesus,

My life, each day, is fully Thine.

Sweet to live for You, my Master,

To abide in Your will divine.
