I cry my soul to sleep
Somewhere in the starless night
I yearn for safety's keep
Away from hurt outside of time
Oh wherever i run i cant hide
From the knife in the light
I close my eyes to be free
Of all the loneliness i feel
So many against me
So many seek to harm me dear
Oh protection sweeping over me
Youre my hope my shield
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
The raging waters fall
All around and drowning me
See my life in chains
Show me mercy hand me down the key
Oh you are my shield my glory
You can set me free
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
In times of trouble you come to me
In times of danger you come to my aid
You give your all to me,
When i need it most
And lead me though
You guide me through the sweet and bitter tears
Ah lead me, oh hold me
Come on and show me
Lead me on
Lead me through the darkness
Lead me through the bitter tears
Guide me to my only hope
Lead me through the shadows
Lead me through the darkness tonight
Lead me on
Lead me through the sweet and bitter tears
Lead me on
Lead me on
