You Lead Me Still

When the sun is at my front and the wind at my back
When all is calm and lovely and there is nothing that I lack
When we treat each other with love and respect
Everyone is care for and there is no more neglect

You led me then you lead me still
Lord lead me now somehow I know you will
Live in me and give me the grace I need for the mission
Lord warm me conform me open my ears to listen

When the enemy surrounds me and my back's against the wall
I place my trust in you I don't have to fear at all
When the storms are raging and I'm blinded by the spray
I think of you and find the strength to say

You led me then you lead me still
Lord lead me now somehow I know you will
Lord take me remake me help me speak what's true
Lord grow me and show me how to point to you

I'm standing on the front lines in a holy battleground
A war for the heart of man with victims all around
It rages always without end both day and night
In the darkness all I am is a small ray of light

You led me then you lead me still
Lord lead me now somehow I know you will
Lord hold me enfold me keep me safe from harm
Lord send me defend me hold me in your arms

Throughout my life you were always leading me
All of this seems very clear to see
In sun and rain in joy and pain you were always right beside
Your word is a lamp to my feet and on the path you guide

So Lord right now please hear my prayer
You know I am earnest, my soul is laid bare:
You led me then you lead me still
Lord lead me now somehow I know you will
