Verse 1
I’ve walked through fire with a steady hand
Felt the weight of walls I didn’t plan
Heard the noise of doubt like thunder roll
But mercy kept command of my soul
I’ve seen the broken find their flame
Heard forgotten voices speak their name
Every scar became a sign above
Pointing every road back to love
Pre-Chorus
When the easy way was calling me out
Grace drew a higher line through the doubt
Chorus
I will lead with love when the path gets hard
When the night runs deep and the sky is scarred
I’ll choose the light when I could choose control
I’ll plant the seed in every soul
No crown, no throne, no push, no shove
My victory march is to lead with love
Verse 2
I’ve learned that power can build a wall
But a servant heart can reach them all
Not every battle’s meant to win
Some are meant to let hope begin
I’ve held the line when storms would rise
With truth and tears in my eyes
Strength ain’t loud — it’s steady and kind
It leaves no wounded heart behind
Pre-Chorus
When pride said “stand and make them bend”
Love said “kneel — and call them friend”
Chorus
I will lead with love when the path gets hard
When the night runs deep and the sky is scarred
I’ll choose the light when I could choose control
I’ll plant the seed in every soul
No crown, no throne, no push, no shove
My victory march is to lead with love
Bridge (big lift)
If I fall, I’ll fall forgiving
If I rise, I rise by giving
Every mile, every scar
Shows us who we really are
Not by fear, not by fame
But by how we speak a name
With open hands, with lifted eyes
That’s where the real giants rise
Breakdown (soft → build)
Love is courage under fire
Love climbs higher, higher, higher
Not weakness — no — it’s holy flame
The only way to truly reign
Final Chorus (anthem)
I will lead with love — let the banners fly
Through the tears and the questions why
I’ll be the calm in the wild unknown
Turn strangers’ ground to welcome home
When history writes what we were made of
Let it be said — we led with love
