Let You Lead

a snapshot of my life

I guess I can trust you

It's what I'm supposed to do

But I feel so dry

And I want to die

But you promised more

So on my knees on the floor

I beg and plead for mercy

Oh Father please don't curse me

On faith I'm going blind

Hoping and praying for a sign

You promised compassion--fail me not

Don't leave me here to dry and rot

What if I say I believe

And take your hand 

and let you lead?.

I know you love

From heaven above

I know you're there

In earth and air

Yet I can't feel you near

'Cause I can't hear

Through the voices and shouts

That are racing about

In my head, in my heart

Tearing my mind and soul apart

Please come to me

Open my eyes to see

What if I believe

And take your hand

And let you lead?

Through the desert fire and storm

I will let you shape and form

Whoever you want me to be

Despite the painful agony

And years of abuse

The memories have their use.

I'll hold steady on

Through sorrow and song.

Through good, bad, and worst

Help me to always put you first;

So I surrender now

And lay my burdens down.

Jesus I believe

I take your hand

And I'll let you lead.
