Lyrics

VERSE 1
Guide me, O my great Redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land
When I’m desperate and needy
Jesus, lead me by Your hand
Let Your Spirit, ever with me
Be the compass on my way
I will trust You through the darkness
You will not lead me astray

CHORUS
Christ before me, Christ behind me
Christ within me every day
Be my path and prize forever
Jesus, guide me all the way

VERSE 2
Like the fire and cloudy pillar
Be my vision day and night
Like the manna in the morning
I will see Your love provide
Quench my thirst when I am fainting
Living Water, Fount of Life
Rock of Ages, on this journey
Only You can satisfy

VERSE 3
Lead me onward into Zion
To the home I’ve yet to see
Bring me to that better country
Where I’ll finally be free
When I near the shores of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
For I know Your hand will keep me
Til I’m safe on Canaan’s side
