The Lord is my leader, and all life through I'll follow Him to the Light and the Truth Beside tranquil sea His presence I'll seek Walking in His footprints left on the beach. In quiet moments my thoughts are led to Whatever the Lord would wish me to do As long as I'm able, I will contrive To be benevolent whilst I'm alive. Though we only live our granted lifetime We've nothing to fear, for Heaven's divine The Lord said so, and He prepares a room For those who repent and are freed from doom. The Lord leads to water to quench our thirst He provides food for all dwelling on earth To those in need we should avail ourselves Sharing, caring for those with empty shelves. He leads me to be merciful of heart To see beauty of His creative art To inspire the singing of songs of praise Songs that will set the universe ablaze. Lead me to glory dear Lord is my plea I aim to become the image of Thee One day I may fly to those Pearly Gates A magnificent day to celebrate.
