Lead Me On

I wrote this as the theme song for a Christian conference about Abundant Living,
based on John 10:10.

Lead Me On

I hear you whisper, hear you calling
Calling out my name
I sense you filling. Abundant living
Priorities rearranged

Teach me to love what you love, to hate what you hate
To want what you want and to wait when you wait
Lead me on, following you

Teach me to teach what you taught, to walk as you walked
To cry as you cried and to talk as you talked
Lead me on, following you

Teach me to live as you lived, to give as you gave
To humble myself as you went to the grave
Lead me on, following you
Following you
Rivers of living waters flowing
Pouring into me
Gift of the Saviour. Life abundant
Clearing out the debris

Teach me to love what you love, to hate what you hate
To want what you want and to wait when you wait
Lead me on, following you

Teach me to teach what you taught, to walk as you walked
To cry as you cried and to talk as you talked
Lead me on, following you

Teach me to live as you lived, to give as you gave
To humble myself as you went to the grave
Lead me on, following you
Following you

I hear you whisper
I hear you calling
I hear you whisper
Calling out my name
