Sav ior, I come,

Ev ’ry thing I once held dear,

I count

Lead me to the cross where Your (D)love poured out.

Bring me to my knees, Lord, I (D)lay me down.

(Bm7)Rid me of my self, I be (D)long to You.

Oh, lead me,

You were as I,

tempt ed and trialed.

bore my sin and death,

now You’re ris

Ev ’ry thing I once held dear,

I count

Lead me to the cross where Your (D)love poured out.

Bring me to my knees, Lord, I (D)lay me down.

(Bm7)Rid me of my self, I be (D)long to You.

Oh, lead me,
