Lead Me To Rest |
I was hurting all alone |
And I was searching for a comfort I could find on my own |
With no direction, feeling down |
My life was heading for disaster 'til you turned me around |
Nothing ever had been able to ease me |
When trying to please me |
It only pleased me less |
But when I learned about the way that you loved me |
Had to put your honor above me |
And you gave me rest |
Lead me to rest, sweet Lord, lead me to rest |
From my journey here lead me to rest |
The relief I’ve found from the burdens that have weighed me down |
Lead me to rest, lead me to rest |
What a comfort, what a deal |
As I consider what you offered me how can it be real? |
What should I offer in return? |
When the value of your blessings no one ever could earn |
Then you tell me that I’m really forgiven |
Got a reason for livin' |
And you made it so clear |
I’m supported when the devil would charm me |
Protected when the evil would harm me |
Tell me how can I fear? |
Bridge: |
In the world my life was slowly sinking |
Not attaining true peace at all |
Never listening to what you had to say |
Now it’s fortunate you’ve changed my thinking |
After answering your loving call |
You give me rest that nobody can take away |
Repeat Chorus |
Lead me to rest, lead me to rest |
Lead me to rest, lead me to rest |
O Lord won’t you lead me, lead me to rest (repeat several times) |
Scriptural Reference: |
«But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no |
adversary or disaster.» |
1 Kings 5:4 |
