Amy Grant - Lead me on with Lyrics

Amy Grant Lead me on with Lyrics-
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 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
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
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?
Oh, 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
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on

An all-time classic. Amy Grant is one of the patriarchs of contemporary christian music. She paved the path for many artists.

I Love Jesus....

Very moving lyrics

[@djmix8977]

This is a song of this moment for me. Oh God Please lead us on... to place where the river runs into your keeping. Black Lives Matter too. Help us, Lead Us and Keep our hearts in worship in the face of acute social injustice. 🌈🙏🏾🌈🕊🕊

DJ Mix ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god, I have listened to this song a lot when I was a teenager and used to love it, and I don’t really believe in any religion, and I just realized it’s about the Holocaust. I actually had no idea Amy Grant also made religious music.

[@heatherboster1937]

could have never EVER imagined that the cassette I likely wore a hole through from repeated airplay at age 15....and then pretty much forgot about after the late '80s...came to mind today as my heart is heavy for my beloved country...losing our freedoms, oppressed, the power hungry hurting the innocents....honestly had never listened to lyrics in their entirety...hauntingly accurate in mid 2021

[@-book800]

Sharp, piercing lyrics, sung hauntingly... reminding us of man's inhumanity to man. Woe unto us if we don't heed these words! Jesus Christ is the only answer to all of your problems. It's not enough just to know about Him, you need to know Him.

[@faithmac3442]

Amen! Best comment on here.

[@merloctave22]

It's 2022 and I'm listening

[@Laurita7]

[@ThePlagueGameing]

possibly, just possibly, the BEST produced album ever in CCM!!.

[@casszanggonmiah]

Thank you for this! Powerful song 🎵 ❤

[@retrogamingcommentary4163]

Such evocative lyrics; listening to this song feels like sharing a dream. A wonderful tune with Michael W. Smith on the keyboard!

[@ENCwwe]

Yeah I recognize MWS's touches on this song. Certain parts remind me of his song The Wonderful Cross.

[@HenryMusic255]

I was only a kid when this came out, good memories to this song (on cassette tape)

[@paulkerrigan4051]

I'm an atheist, but I love love love this song!

[@brookehenson6123]

+Paul Kerrigan Me too! Bemoaning the cruelty humanity inflicts on each other is something in which we all can and should find unity, regardless of theological beliefs.

[@ThePlagueGameing]

your really not an atheist. you BELIEVE God doesn't exist!

[@brookehenson6123]

Atheist doesn't mean an absence of belief...It merely means in the absence of God ( a = no, theist = god). You're thinking "nihilist", maybe?

[@HenryMusic255]

I'm not an atheist but I still enjoy Christian music, lol

[@jonanthony979]

Atheist spend eternity separated from God. Is that what u want for urself?

[@nazariomonteverde5275]

I like her music !!!!!

[@johncharles4]

God loves us and Jesus does too. Please accept Jesus into your hearts and lives if you have not already.

PTL (Praise The LORD!) :-)

[@danielbrown1943]

If I were, or had permission, to change one lyric, I would change "wearing their anger", to "wearing their trauma"-- my thoughts, thanks!

[@cw9817]

I respectfully disagree. "Anger" is more honest. No need to sugarcoat it in this case.

[@rosethorn2873]

If you Are hated.. That pain is in the hater themselves- why must I take somebody painful hatefullness IN... ?? No reasons. We have enough pains- helping not hurting.

[@carolinesalv]

😍😍😍nostalgia!
