Lead Me Gently

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

I’m yours, I’ve always been

Let First Corinthians 13 guide us again

⸻

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
