Lead Me On - New Direction

Lead me on to a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh Lead me on, the awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead me on Shoulder to the wheel

For someone else’s selfish gain

Here there is no choosing, working the clay

Wearing their anger like a ball and chain

Fire in the field, underneath the blazing sun

But soon the sun was faded and freedom was a song

I heard them singing when the day was done

Singing to the holy one

Lead me on to a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh Lead me on, the awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead me on Waiting for the train

Labeled with a golden star

Heavy hearted boarding, whispers in the dark

Where are they going, is it very far?

Bitter cold terrain, echoes of a slamming door

In chambers made for sleeping forever

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar

Cry to the lord

Singing lead me on to a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh Lead me on, the awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead me on Man hurts man

Time and time again

And we drown in the wake of our power

Somebody tell me why

Lead me on, lead me on to a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh Lead me on, the awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, oh Lead me on, lead me on to a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh Lead me on, lead me on, the awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, oh Lead me on, lead me on To a place where the rivers run

Oh, Lead me on, lead me on To a place where the river runs
