Lead Me, Lord Jesus…

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)

Lead me, Lord,

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, my Jesus

My life, each day, is fully Thine

Sweet to live for You, my Master

To abide in Your will divine
