Where He Leads Me
Twila Paris's 'Where He Leads Me' is a gentle song about following Jesus as the Shepherd. It contrasts the broad road many take with the narrow path of obedience, expressing a willingness to go wherever He leads, even away from home. The lyrics also speak of hearing His quiet voice amid many voices, and the repeated refrain affirms a commitment to follow and hear Him. The song conveys trust, surrender, and a desire for His presence, making it a reflective piece on discipleship and faithful following.
There's a great, broad road
Through the meadow
And many travel there
But I have a gentle Shepherd
I would follow anywhere
Up a narrow path
Through the mountains
To the valley far below
To be ever in His presence
Where He leads me, I will go
Where He leads me, I will go
And there are many wondrous voices
Day and night they fill the air
But there is one so small and quiet
I would know it anywhere
In the city or in the wilderness
There's a ringing crystal clear
And to be ever close beside Him
When He calls me, I will hear
When He calls me, I will hear
Where He leads me, I will follow
When He calls me, I will hear
Where He leads me, I will follow
When He calls me, I will hear
There is a great, broad road to nowhere
And so many travel there
But I have a gentle Shepherd
I would follow anywhere
Though the journey take me far away
From the place I call my home
To be ever in His presence
Where He leads me, I will go
Where He leads me, I will go
Where He leads me, I will go
