I used to live my life in fear
|
Was worried all the time
|
From waking up to laying down
|
I had no peace of mind
|
The world became a darkened place
|
A struggle without end
|
Although bitter times those were
|
The days that I had began to understand
|
I was only a man
|
|
I grew up singing songs in church
|
With questions in my mind
|
Then turned my back and ran away
|
From God who gave me life
|
Then one night his presence fell
|
I wept and shook and then
|
I fell down and cried, Dear Jesus, rescue me again
|
I understand I am only a man
|
|
And He said, What will it be now?
|
Will you choose me or keep swimming up stream now?
|
I've been inside your head hearing you scream out.
|
Well here I am, just take my hand and I'll take out
|
All of the pain and all of the fear
|
All of the fear
|
|
I'll give you my burdens (I'll give you peace)
|
All of my desires (I'll give you what you need)
|
Oh, what about these chains, Lord? (I'll set you free)
|
But they're so heavy (Lay them at my feet)
|
I'll lay them at your feet
|
Just promise you won't leave (I'll never leave)
|
So where do I go from here, Lord? (Just follow me)
|
(Just follow me)
|
I'll follow you (Just follow me) wherever you lead
|
Wherever you lead, wherever you lead
|
