Lead Me to Jesus

E. S. Lorenz • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 18:40

Verse 1

Lead me to Jesus, my soul is so weary, Weary of bearing the yoke of sin; Dark clouds above me, my pathway is dreary, Joy never dwells my sad heart within.

Chorus

Lead me to Jesus, lead me today; Lead me to Jesus, lead me, I pray; Tenderly, carefully, Lovingly, prayerfully, Lead me to Jesus.

Verse 2

Mountains impassable, sins rise around me, Hiding the light of the Father’s face; Sitting in darkness, sin fetters have bound me, Vainly I struggle without his grace.

Chorus

Lead me to Jesus, lead me today; Lead me to Jesus, lead me, I pray; Tenderly, carefully, Lovingly, prayerfully, Lead me to Jesus.

Verse 3

Lead me to Jesus, my soul now returning, Seeks in its bosom its resting place; Lead me to Jesus, my heart now is burning, Longing for mercy, and love, and grace.

Chorus

Lead me to Jesus, lead me today; Lead me to Jesus, lead me, I pray; Tenderly, carefully, Lovingly, prayerfully, Lead me to Jesus.
