Influence Music - Spirit Lead Me Lyrics
Lyrics
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
And even in suffering
I have to believe it
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 ways
I'm done chasing feelings
Spirit lead me
It felt like a burden
But once I could grasp it
You took me further
Further than I was asking
And simply to see You
It's worth it all
My life is an altar
Let Your fire fall
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 ways
I'm done chasing feelings
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
When all hope is gone
And Your word is all I've got
I have to believe
You still bring water from the rock
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 faults
I 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
I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead (Spirit lead me)
I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead (Spirit lead me)
I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead (Spirit lead me)
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
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
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me
Spirit lead me

Spirit Lead Me (Official Video) - Influence Music & Michael Ketterer
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on August 29, 2018, the official video of "Spirit Lead Me" by Influence Music featuring Michael Ketterer immediately presents a profound invitation to surrender and reliance on the Holy Spirit. This song is not merely a collection of pleasant sounds; it's a prayer set to music, echoing a deep yearning for divine guidance in the often-turbulent journey of life. The core message revolves around the Holy Spirit as our Comforter, our Guide, and our strength, a theme central to Christian theology. The lyrics express a humble acknowledgment of our own limitations, a recognition that true wisdom and direction come not from our own intellect or plans, but from the indwelling Spirit of God. This resonates powerfully with passages like Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The song's plea for the Spirit to lead, to be our courage when we falter, and to illuminate our way through darkness, directly mirrors Jesus’ promise in John 14:26 that the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in His name, will teach us all things and remind us of everything He has said. Furthermore, the sentiment of the Spirit breathing life and purpose into our existence aligns with Romans 8:11, which speaks of the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwelling in us and giving life to our mortal bodies. The overall impact of "Spirit Lead Me" is one of hopeful dependence, a melodic declaration of faith that encourages believers to actively seek and embrace the active presence and direction of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of their lives, finding peace and purpose in His unwavering guidance.
