Verse 1

In the quiet, You are speaking

In the stillness, I can hear

Not with thunder, not with power

But Your voice is drawing near

When my heart is full of questions

When my steps are slow with fear

Be the light before my footsteps

Lead me, Lord, and keep me near

Chorus

Lead me, Lord, in all Your ways

Guide my heart for all my days

When I cannot see the road

I will trust the One who knows

Lead me, Lord, where You would send

Shape my life to match Your will

Day by day and step by step

Lead me, Lord, I’m listening still

Verse 2

Give me grace to follow fully

Not to turn to left or right

Teach my soul to move in mercy

Teach my eyes to love Your light

If You call me into service

If You ask me now to wait

Let my yes be formed in worship

Let obedience be my praise

Chorus

Lead me, Lord, in all Your ways

Guide my heart for all my days

When I cannot see the road

I will trust the One who knows

Lead me, Lord, where You would send

Shape my life to match Your will

Day by day and step by step

Lead me, Lord, I’m listening still

Bridge

Where You lead me, I will follow

Where You send me, I will go

Be before me, be behind me

Jesus, lead me ever on

Where You lead me, I will follow

Where You send me, I will go

Take my answer, take my future

Jesus, lead me ever on

Final Chorus

Lead me, Lord, in all Your ways

Guide my heart for all my days

When I cannot see the road

I will trust the One who knows

Lead me, Lord, where You would send

Shape my life to match Your will

Day by day and step by step

Lead me, Lord, I’m listening still

The heart behind the song

A song for
surrender.

Lead Me, Lord exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into surrender. A prayer for God to lead the worshipper after the act of surrender, moving the EP from laying down control into walking with trust.

Explore the meaning

At its heart, the song treats surrender as something to be received before it is performed. The focus is not on musical display, but on helping attention turn towards Jesus with language that feels plain, prayerful and singable.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold dependence and obedience, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

For listening and worship

For everyday listening, the song offers worship language for moments when surrender needs to be remembered and sung, not merely understood.

For churches and worship leaders, it is shaped as a guidance prayer: clear in focus, connected to the wider EP, and intended to serve gathered voices as well as personal prayer.
