”He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.”…..

I was wasting my time, living moments unrefined,
Lost and wandering and gone astray.
I was wasting my time, living moments unrefined,
Lost and wandering and gone astray.

But you seeketh me, you seeketh me
Your rod and staff my comfort be.
You leave the safe to seek the lost.
And pay the awful cost.

And pay the awful cost.

Trapped here in time, moments frozen in my mind:
The quiet waters by, the pastures green.
Trapped here in time, moments frozen in my mind:
The quiet waters by, the pastures green.

You leadeth me, You leadeth me
And You say Your faithful follower be.
You wash me feet, anoint my head,
And die there in my stead.

And die there in my stead.

I know these quiet waters by, won’t stop the tide
As Jordon washes over me.
But you are on the other side, with you arms open wide,
The One who loves me more than me.

You leadeth me, You leadeth me
And You say Your faithful follower be.
You wash me feet, anoint my head,
And die there in my stead.

And die there in my stead.

You bleed The Blood you bled.
And bow Your thorn crowned head.
And taste death for the dead.
And die there in my stead.
