He Leadeth Me

Ever since my dad died, this song has been a comfort to me. My mom was looking in dad's bible after he died and was reminded of this song and it has been special to us ever since. I sometimes turn on my Acapella cd and just listen to this song or sing it in my head. It gives me comfort when I dont really know where life is headed. When I dont know what job I am going to have, or where we are going to live, or how good I am going to be at being a dad. I am glad that as Christians, even when things are tough, even when the economy is bad, even when we or our family members or friends are hurting or struggling, we can know that God is leading us. And where He leads us is peaceful and good.

He Leadeth Me

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught.
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Chorus:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by His hand, He leadeth me.

Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still or troubled sea,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me!

Repeat Chorus

And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the victory's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me!

Repeat Chorus

He leads me, He leads me!
By His own hand, He leads me!
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by His hand, He leadeth me.
