I’ve been walking in the shadows, lost along the way,
Trying to fix the pieces of a life I’ve thrown away.
Every choice I made, every road I’ve been down,
Led me to this moment, kneeling on the ground.
(Pre-Chorus)
All my pride, all my fear, all the tears I’ve cried,
I lay them down before You, no more places to hide.
(Chorus –
Lead me to the cross, I’ve been lost in my mind,
Tried a thousand ways but couldn’t find the light,
Every shadow in my heart, every fear I hide,
You see it all, Lord, You never turn aside.
Lead me through the fire, lead me through the storm,
Your love is the anchor that keeps me from harm,
I’m done running, done pretending I’m strong,
So lead me, Lord… lead me to the cross where I belong.
(Verse 2)
I’ve been chasing after things that never fill the soul,
Empty victories, broken dreams, paying a heavy toll.
But Your mercy pulls me closer, even when I fall,
Every sin, every scar, You’ve already conquered all.
(Pre-Chorus)
All my guilt, all my shame, all the weight I bear,
I lift them up to Heaven, You are always there.
(Chorus –
Lead me to the cross, I’ve been lost in my mind,
Tried a thousand ways but couldn’t find the light,
Every shadow in my heart, every fear I hide,
You see it all, Lord, You never turn aside.
Lead me through the fire, lead me through the storm,
Your love is the anchor that keeps me from harm,
I’m done running, done pretending I’m strong,
So lead me, Lord… lead me to the cross where I belong.
(Bridge – Tight Version)
When the world closes in, I feel all alone,
Your grace is my shelter, my heart is Your home.
Through the tears, through the pain, You lift me high,
Lead me to the cross, Lord, where I’ll never die.
(Final Chorus –
Lead me to the cross, I’ve been lost in my mind,
Tried a thousand ways but couldn’t find the light,
Every shadow in my heart, every fear I hide,
You see it all, Lord, You never turn aside.
Lead me through the fire, lead me through the storm,
Your love is the anchor that keeps me from harm,
I’m done running, done pretending I’m strong,
So lead me, Lord… lead me to the cross where I belong.
(Outro – Soft / Emotional)
Lead me… lead me to the cross…
Where I find peace, where I am found,
Lead me, Lord… to the cross.
