I was Truly touched when I heard this song, and I had to post the lyrics and chords/tabs to it on L4J right away! I encourage you all to at least read the lyrics like a poem. Enjoy!!
Song Title: Lead Me
By: Sanctus Real
Capo 1
Intro: C-Am
Verse 1:
C Am
I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
C
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Am
Always smiling
G
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...
Chorus 1:
C Lead me with strong hands G Stand up when I can't F Don't leave me hungry for love Am G Chasing dreams, what about us? C Show me you're willing to fight G That I'm still the love of your life F I know we call this our home Am G C But I still feel aloneVerse 2:C Am I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes They're just children from the outside C I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine Am They're independent G But on the inside, I can hear them saying...(Chorus 1)Bridge:Am F So Father, give me the strength C G To be everything I'm called to be Am F Oh, Father, show me the way C To lead them G Won't You lead me?Chorus 2:C To lead them with strong hands G To stand up when they can't F Don't want to leave them hungry for love, Am G Chasing things that I could give up C I'll show them I'm willing to fight G And give them the best of my life F So we can call this our home Am G C Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone Am G C Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this aloneI hope you enjoyed the song!! I will provide a video from youtube on the sidebar so you can play along with the song. Thank you Sanctus Real for allowing God to bring Lead Me out of you!
God bless!!
I have found on many other sites that instead of the Am in the bridge it is corrected as Dm. I love this song I plan on learning it.
I was working the night shift when this song was released. I worked alone and would listen to Air1 all night. The first time I heard this song, I was put to my knees. This song yanks tears right out of my face worse than a Disney movie (when the mama dies). Man I believe God was leading him when he wrote it. It flows so incredibly well. His order is right on (Goes to God, about his wife, then his kids , then brings them together. Truly beautiful. I’m going to learn it and sing it to my wife. Now if I can just not crack at the end, I’ll be good. I’m not usually a pansy, but the power of The Lord is in this tune, and I am abruptly convicted every time. Thanks so much for the post
In Him, Brandon
I just want to say thank you so much for posting this song and chords on this website.
I heard James Amaya do this song on the Men of Honor simulcast June 15th, and loved it immediately. Now if I can just master minor chords!
I love this song..it inspires me a lot,a great challenge being a father and a blessing to me personally. I will loved to sing this song,God bless your band
This is one of my favorite songs
I agree with both of you! She is my fav singer! i love her and her and all of her songs. I have all of her cd’s. And i play them all the time. I can think of no other disc i’d rather hear.
Yeah I love the song too! Yeah the chords without capo : Replace “C” with “C#”, “Am” with A#m”, “G” with “G#”, “F” with”F#”. The best way to play would be in bar chords. Hope this helps!! God bless
This song is indeed inspiring, and the first time I heard it it just created a miracle in my heart. I want to play this song at church, might you know the alternative chords without a capo?
