Here is a question that I need to know:
Why turn my back and just refuse to go
When You have made for me a path so bright
Through this life (mmm-hmm)?
Oh Lord, I know You want to help me see
'Cause You know exactly where I need to be
There will be troubles there to block my sight
But I'll be alright when You shine Your light!
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You lead me down
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You need me now
You take my circumstances into Your hands and make a way
Lord, You take me by the hand
Showing me the things You've planned, so...
Lead me, I'll follow wherever You go
There is no question that my future's clear
'Cause I know You're answerin' my every pray'r
And when You don't say what I want to hear
I won't fear, 'cause I know You will...
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You lead me down
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You need me now
You take my circumstances into Your hands and make a way
Lord, You take me by the hand
Showing me the things You've planned, so...
Lead me, I'll follow wherever You go...
Hey, hey, ooh, oh, woah, yeay, yeah!
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na)
Lord, You take me by the hand
Showing me the things You've planned, so...
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You lead me down
Lead me; I'll follow wherever You need me now
Lord, every circumstance falls in Your hands; You make a way
Right before my eyes to see - You're the path in front of me, so...
Lead me, I'll follow wherever You go
"Lead Me (I'll Follow)" by Rachael Lampa is a beautiful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to trust in God's guidance and follow Him wherever He leads. The song was released in 2002 as part of Lampa's album "Kaleidoscope." This powerful track showcases Lampa's powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics that resonate with believers seeking direction and purpose in their lives.
The song opens with a question: "Why turn my back and just refuse to go?" This line reflects the struggle many of us face when we hesitate to follow God's plan for our lives. Sometimes, we may be afraid of the unknown or reluctant to let go of control. However, Lampa reminds us that God has prepared a path for us, one that is bright and full of purpose.
The chorus of the song proclaims, "Lead me; I'll follow wherever You lead me down. Lead me; I'll follow wherever You need me now." This simple yet powerful declaration expresses a surrender to God's will. It acknowledges that God knows exactly where we need to be and that He will guide us through life's challenges.
Lampa's lyrics also touch on the fact that our circumstances may not always be easy. She sings, "There will be troubles there to block my sight, but I'll be alright when You shine Your light!" This line reminds us that even in the midst of trials and difficulties, God's light can guide us and bring us comfort.
The song's message aligns with several scripture verses that speak to the theme of following God's lead. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This verse encourages us to trust in God's wisdom and guidance, knowing that He will direct our paths.
Another verse that relates to the theme of the song is Psalm 32:8, which says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." This verse reassures us that God is not only willing but also eager to guide us. He promises to counsel and instruct us, always keeping watch over us with His loving eye.
"Lead Me (I'll Follow)" is a song that speaks to the hearts of believers who desire to trust God's plan and follow His lead. It reminds us that we are not alone in our journey and that God is always there, ready to guide us. As we surrender our own desires and trust in His wisdom, we can confidently proclaim, "Lead me, I'll follow wherever You go."
