Everything is falling apart it seems And I’m afraid… of what may come. I cannot know which way, that I am meant to take All I can do…. is... pray I want you to lead me. I want you to make it clear I know that you’re with me. But sometimes I cannot hear When I’m scared, when I’m weak, When I am trying to run free Please help me… face my fear I can’t see where you are leading me But I can see your heart burning in Love for me. So l’ll trust that you know how I will make it back Home I don’t have to try to go fast or slow. I want you to lead me. I want you to make it clear I know that you’re with me. But sometimes I cannot hear When I’m scared, when I’m weak, When I am trying to run free Please help me… face my fear I think I’m afraid you won’t love me But truly I’m afraid that you will Cause then I won’t have an excuse for turning away when I hear you Call me When you sing your Song to remind me Who I Am... and Where I'm from. Everything is falling apart it seems But now I can see… that it was all for me To bring me to Joy, to bring me to Peace, To re...mind me that You are all I need And I want you to lead me. I want you to make it clear I know that you’re with me. But sometimes I cannot hear When I’m scared, when I’m weak, When I am trying to run free When I think that I need More than you’ve given me Please help me… face my fear
