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
But I need your heart—not just duty and bond

The Bible says 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]
We once wrote letters, and you felt so near
Your words held emotion, your heart was sincere
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 team
But I need your compassion to feel like a dream
I want to be known, not just touched in the night
To be fully loved, not just held 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
But I need to be safe in my own skin
And if you forget how to love me well
Let 1 Corinthians 13 ring like a bell

[Final 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—just come gently to me
