Fire in the field underneath your blazing sun
Time and time, and time again
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
To the place where the river runs into Your keeping
Man hurts man
Somebody tell me why
Lead on
Lead me on, lead me on
Bitter cold terrain, echoes of a slamming door
To the place where the river runs into Your keeping
Lead me on, lead me on
Yeah, lead me on, lead me on
Crying to the Lord
I heard them singing when the day was done
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
Chambers made for sleeping forever
Soon the sun was faded and freedom was a song
Yeah, lead me on, lead me on
Singing to the Holy One
To the place where the river runs into Your keeping
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
Yeah, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on, lead me on
Here there is no choosing, working the clay
Though we drown in the wake of our power
To the place where the river runs into Your keeping
Wearing their anger like a ball and chain
Yeah, lead me on, lead me on
