So lead the way, Lord Jesus, lead the way
and guide me through this earthly life I pray.
Every day I seek to follow close to You
and try to do the things You'd have me do.
Lead the way dear Saviour, lead me through,
and help me to walk my life so close to You.
To tread one step at a time and day by day
following in Your footsteps along the way
Lead me Lord along this earthly path of mine
through those meadows where the sun does shine,
beside the serene and peaceful waters.
Lead me Lord through those green pastures
Lead me Lord through the darkest time
when life is hard and the sun refuses to shine.
Take my hand and keep me close to You.
Lead me onward, lead me through.
Lead me Lord through the valley of deaths shadow
to those gates of splendour where there is no sorrow
Lead me Lord into the realms of heavenly grandeur
when I come to the end of this earthly adventure
