Light the way
I don't wanna move without you
I just wanna be where you are
In the desert or promise land
As long as you with me
Light the way
Spirit lead us
Go before us
Stay with us
We are desperate
For your presence
Lord guide us
Spirit lead us
Go before us
Stay with us
We are desperate
For your presence
Lord guide us
Jesus shepherd king
Lead us in your truth
We are listening
Light the way
I don't wanna move without you
I just wanna be where you are
In the desert or promise land
As long as you with me
Light the way
I don't wanna breathe without you
I just wanna stay in your heart
Where I'll never be afraid
As long as you with me
Light the way
Now let your goodness
Pass before us
Protect us
Blessed savior
God our shelter
You love us
Jesus shepherd king
Lead us in your truth
We are listening
Light the way
I don't wanna move without you
I just wanna be where you are
In the desert or promise land
As long as you with me
Light the way
I don't wanna breathe without you
I just wanna stay in your heart
There I'll never be afraid
As long as you with me
Light the way
Light the way
Your presence is with us
Your light is piercing through the darkness
Your promise fight for us
Oh Jesus, light the way
Your presence is with us
Your light is piercing through the darkness
Your promise fight for us
Oh Jesus, light the way
Your presence is with us
Your light is piercing through the darkness
Your promise fight for us
Oh Jesus, light the way
Your presence is with us
Your light is piercing through the darkness
Your promise fight for us
Oh Jesus, light the way
