Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Sometimes the sun feels like it keeps me in the dark
Sometimes I find myself on journeys far too hard
I thought You turned Your back on every hurt
Til I realized that You were going first
You lead me
Through deserts no man has walked
Through waters none dare to cross
When I'm afraid of where I'll be
You lead me
I close my eyes and hold on tightly to Your hand
I don't know if I'm walking on water or sinking sand
Caught up in the storm of what I feel
I thought You were the sword, but You're the shield
You lead me
Through deserts no man has walked
Through waters none dare to cross
When I'm afraid of where I'll be
You lead me
Through flames that won't burn me down
Showing me the way to the only way out
When it's all I know, as far as I can see
You lead me
Through the deserts
Through the valleys
Through the waters
You lead me
Oh, You lead me
Through deserts no man has walked
Through waters none dare to cross
When I'm afraid of where I'll be
You lead me
Oh, You lead me oh
Oh, You lead me
