Audrey Assad's 'Lead Me On' is a contemplative worship song that reimagines Psalm 23 as a personal prayer for guidance and trust. The lyrics speak of God as a shepherd who provides, protects, and leads through dark valleys, with a refrain expressing the desire to dwell in God's house forever. The song acknowledges the tension of living in a world where we are not yet home, finding comfort in God's presence and mercy. It is a gentle, reflective piece that encourages listeners to rely on God's leading through every circumstance.

You are my shepherd - there's nothing I shall want
Beside still waters You lead my spirit on
Your hand will guide me no matter where I walk
Through darkest valley Your love is not far off
And I will dwell in Your house forever [3x]
Lead me on
I fear no evil, for You are with me
You set this table before my enemies
And You anoint me - You overflow my cup
And they will follow me, Your goodness and Your love
And I will dwell in Your house forever [3x]
Lead me on
Your rod and Your staff are a strange mercy
In a world where I'm not yet home
[2x]
And I will dwell in Your house forever [3x]
Lead me on
