Lead On, Kindly Light


lead, kindly light
amidst the gray and gloom
the night is long
and i'm far from home


 here in the dark
i dare not ask to see
the path ahead
one step enough for me
lead on, lead on, kindly light


i was not ever willing to be lead
i could have stayed 
but i ran instead
in spight of fear
i followed my pride
my eyes could see
but my heart was blind
lead, lead on, kindly light


and in the night
when i was afraid
your feet beside 
my own on the way


and each stumbling step
where other men have trod
shortens the road
leading home to my God
lead on, lead on, kindly light

from the the love of my own comfort
from the fear of having nothing
from a life of worldly passions


deliver me, oh God


from a need to be understood
from a need to be accepted
from the fear of being lonely



deliver me, oh God
deliver me, oh God


 and i shall not want
no i shall not want

when i taste Your goodness, 
i shall not want


from the fear of serving others
from the fear of death or trial
from the fear of humility


deliver me, oh God
deliver me, oh God


when i taste your goodness,


i shall not want
