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 a 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
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, lead on.
Waiting for the train
Labelled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
“Where are we 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.
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs…

Will you lead me here again
take my eyes with yours
shadowed under a fading sun
accept my fire with yours?
Whispers sharing smiles
comfortable sighs remember
we waited forever to hear
voices sparkling in the night.
Cold blankets our skies
stars reign tomorrow’s light
rivers beckon our play
share yours with mine again?
Standing under the blazing sun
Heard the saying
tried to lead on
was waiting for the train
to many whispers in the dark
confusion and pain
try to rest try to run
have to have faith under the blazing sun
