Lead Me Higher

Stop, breathe, let go of everything
You think you need, and
Slow down, look around
There’s apparently not a remedy
In a world of fading flowers
We all end in the ground
I could run after the wind forever
But it only lets me down

Lead me higher
Lead me higher
Lift my eyes up
To the light where
I can see all the pain coming to an end
It’s gonna end

Oh, no, nothing on earth can bring security, so
Be still, your waiting will produce your life in me
Like a desert stream
I don’t want to love or trust in money
Oh, let my soul be found
In the hope for a better country that will never let me down

Lead me higher
Lead me higher
Lift my eyes up
To the light where
I can see all the pain coming to an end
Lead me higher
Into the fire
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again

Let my heart beat, let my eyes see all that’s unseen
Your mercy in between
I want to live every day of my life

And though I grow old, don’t let me grow cold
Let me lose my love for all that isn’t you
And as this world fades, teach me to lift my eyes

Lead me higher
Lead me higher
Lift my eyes up
To the light where
I can see all this pain coming to an end
Lead me higher
Into the fire
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again
