Amy Grant
Lead Me On
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Fire in the field
Underneath the 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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 3]
Waiting for the train
Labeled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
"Where are we going--is it very far?"
[Verse 4]
Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
Chambers made for sleeping forever
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
Cryin' to the Lord

[Hook]
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

[Bridge]
Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why

[Hook]
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, oh, lead on

[Outro]
(Lead me on)
Lean on me
Lead on, lead on
(Lead me on)
It's the comfort I'm seeking
(Lead me on)
