Lead Me To Rest Songtext / Lyric

I was hurting all alone

And I was searching for a comfort I could find on my own

With no direction, feeling down

My life was heading for disaster 'til you turned me around

Nothing ever had been able to ease me

When trying to please me

It only pleased me less

But when I learned about the way that you loved me

Had to put your honor above me

And you gave me rest



Chorus:

Lead me to rest, sweet Lord, lead me to rest

From my journey here lead me to rest

The relief I've found from the burdens that have weighed me down

Lead me to rest, lead me to rest






What a comfort, what a deal

As I consider what you offered me how can it be real?

What should I offer in return?

When the value of your blessings no one ever could earn

Then you tell me that I'm really forgiven

Got a reason for livin'

And you made it so clear

I'm supported when the devil would charm me

Protected when the evil would harm me

Tell me how can I fear?



Bridge:



In the world my life was slowly sinking

Not attaining true peace at all

Never listening to what you had to say

Now it's fortunate you've changed my thinking

After answering your loving call

You give me rest that nobody can take away



Repeat Chorus



Lead me to rest, lead me to rest

Lead me to rest, lead me to rest



O Lord won't you lead me, lead me to rest (repeat several times)



Scriptural Reference:



"But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster." 1 Kings 5: 4
