Lead Me Gently

[Verse 1]

I’m not asking for perfect, just presence and grace
A little more kindness, a softer embrace
I know that we’re different in how we respond
I just need a place my heart can lean on

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 1]

His Word reminds me that love is patient and kind
Not proud or dismissive, not leaving behind
I’m trying to open, to let you come close
But I need to feel safe when I’m needing you most

⸻

[Chorus]

So lead me gently, like Christ would lead
With hands that bring comfort, not just what you think I need
Hold me with mercy when my heart’s not strong
Let me feel chosen even when I feel wrong
I don’t need fixing, just someone to see
So love me like Jesus—come gently to me

⸻

[Verse 2]

There was a time when your tenderness showed
When you met my feelings instead of going cold
But now when I speak, I feel pushed aside
And I ache for connection more than my pride

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I’m not here to fight — I’m still on your side
But I need your compassion for my heart to abide
To be fully known, not just touched when it’s right

⸻

[Chorus]

So lead me gently, like Christ would lead
Don’t hush my fears—just sit and let me bleed
Wrap me in kindness, not answers alone
Make your arms a refuge, not a place I postpone
You don’t have to fix me or always agree
Just love me like Jesus—come gently to me

⸻

[Bridge]

I’m yours, I’ve always been
Let First Corinthians 13 guide us again

⸻

[Chorus]

So lead me gently, like Christ would lead
Let your strength be tender when I’m in need
Not just my partner, but my place to rest
A voice that gives grace when I’ve second-guessed
You’re the one I chose, and I still believe
You can love me like Jesus—come gently to me
