Lyrics

Bold is LeRoy Crume

Bold underscore is Crume and Soul Stirrers

Oo

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

Lead Me through the darkness

yeah

if you lead me to the light

everything

everything will be allright

Oh, Lead Me

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

O Master

Lead Me through the darkness

Everytime I get burdened

if you lead me to the light

everything

everything will be allright

When I was a sinner

I sinned both night and day

But since I met this savior of mine

He washed my sins away

Now I tell him to

Lead

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

Oh Master

Lead Me through the darkness

If you lead me

if you lead me to the light

everything

everything will be all right

oh lead

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

Oh father

Lead Me through the darkness

Every time I get burdened now

if you lead me to the light

I know everything

everything will be all right

When I met my savior

I met him with a smile

He washed away my sins

And opened up my eyes

And he walks right by my side

That’s why I tell him to

Lead

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

Oh Master

Lead Me through the darkness

If you lead

if you lead me to the light

everything

everything will be all right

oh lead me

Lead Me Jesus

Lead Me

Oh master

Lead Me through the darkness

If you lead me

if you lead me to the light

I know everything

everything will be allright
