Verse 1
I remember when I was just a kid
Didn?t worry bout a thing the world was simple then
But it?s different now and hard to figure out
At some point I need to learn to lay my questions down
Pre-Chorus
I?ve tried to make sense of it all but I just can?t
When I don?t understand
Chorus
I lean on the Lord
Lean on the Lord
Some things don?t make sense
But one thing?s for sure
When I lean on You Lord
Lean on You Lord
Somehow Your love gives me the strength to go on
So I lean on the Lord
Lean on, lean on
Verse 2
You didn?t fail me then, You won?t fail me now
If I?m still breathing there?s a reason why I?m still around
So I will trust in You and put my hope in You
Keep me on the straight and narrow oh just like You do
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Your word
Your grace
Your strength
I?m learning how to lean on
