Lyrics
Verse 1
This is my worship, this is my offering
In every moment, I withhold nothing
I’m learning to trust You,
even when I can’t see it
Even in suffering, I have to believe it
Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
I don’t wanna follow my own way
I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me
Verse 2
It felt like a burden, but once I could grasp it
You took me further, further then I was asking
Simply to see You, it’s worth it all
My life is an altar, let Your fire fall
Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
Teach me how to follow in Your way
I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me
Bridge
When all hope is gone and Your Word is all I got
I have to believe You still bring water from the rocks
To satisfy my thirst, to love me at my worst
And even when I don’t remember
You remind me of my worth
I don’t trust my ways, I’m trading in my thoughts
I’d lay down everything, cause’ You’re all that I want
I’ve landed on my knees, this is the cup You have for me
And even when it don’t make sense
I’m gonna let Your Spirit lead
Spirit lead me, Spirit lead me Spirit lead me, Spirit lead me
Chorus
If You say it’s wrong, then I’ll say no
If You say release, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say be still, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
You’re the only Truth, The Life, The Way
I’m done chasing feelings Spirit lead me (repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
Spirit Lead Me is a prayer of surrender shaped by trust, obedience, and worship. The singer offers every moment without reservation and asks for divine guidance when sight, feeling, and personal reasoning are unreliable. Each conditional line in the chorus turns faith into response: refusing what is wrong, releasing what must be surrendered, waiting when told to be still, and moving when called.
The bridge places that obedience in hardship. Water from the rock recalls provision in the wilderness, while the cup and kneeling imagery suggest accepting a difficult path rather than escaping it. The closing description of God as truth, life, and way directly echoes John 14:6. Romans 8:14 also closely matches the repeated request for the Spirit to lead. Throughout the lyric, worship is presented as more than expression; it involves laying down control and trusting God’s word when circumstances make little sense. The repeated title phrase therefore functions as both confession and petition.
