He Leads Us On

 

Through the toughest times of life--
Those valleys dark and grim,
Jesus, our Shepherd, leads us…
As we rely on Him.
When we’re grieved, He gives comfort,
As we rest in His fold,
And beside the still waters…
He restoreth our soul…
And He leads us on.

He walks with us through sunshine
And over mountains high,
And when we’re tempted to stray…
His Spirit draws us nigh.
Through the victories of life,
When we would swell with pride,
He corrects and humbles us…
Our soul in Him doth hide…
As He leads us on.

He is with us through failures
Giving courage we need;
We rise to begin again…
For we’re His chosen seed.
When fierce storms rage all around,
We have no need to fear;
Oh, Praise the Lord, He Leads Us…
And keeps us in His care…
Yes, He Leads Us On.

 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;
thy rod and staff they comfort me.”
(Ps 23:1-4)
