(Verse 1)
Jesus, teach me how to lead without the fear
Without a clenched jaw, without steering from the rear
No heavy hands, no burning need to prove
Just gentle steps, knowing when to move
(Bridge)
I see the cracks behind their eyes
I don’t wanna be another reason why
(Chorus)
So teach me how to lead in peace and truth
To live it out, not just talk it through
It’s easy to break, it’s harder to love
So fill my lungs with grace from above
Oh Jesus, teach me to lead
Don’t let my heart push them away
(Verse 2)
I talked too much when silence was gold
Held too tight, tried to stay in control
Now I’m learning, stripped of my pride
That love goes first, and ego dies
(Bridge)
I don’t wanna win if I lose my soul
I don’t wanna lead if I’m not made whole
(Chorus)
So teach me how to lead in peace and truth
To walk it out when it’s hard to choose
It’s easy to judge, it’s harder to love
So break me open, fill me up
Oh Jesus, teach me to lead
Don’t let my heart push them away
(Bridge)
Let my footsteps sound like grace
Let my mercy leave a trace
No crowns, no stages, no hollow praise
Just hands that lift, not hands that claim
(Chorus)
So teach me how to lead in peace and truth
To walk it out when it’s hard to choose
It’s easy to judge, it’s harder to love
So break me open, fill me up
Oh Jesus, teach me to lead
Don’t let my heart push them away
(Chorus)
Teach me how to lead in quiet ways
When no one’s watching, when faith feels thin
If I’m gonna speak, let love begin
Oh Jesus, teach me to lead
(Outro)
Teach me to lead…
And let Your love be all they
