Ever Lead Me is an arrangement of an old Christian hymn entitled Lord, Accept Our True Devotion written by Norman W. Smith (1833-1917).
This arrangement includes new words by Michelle Smyth. In the last few months of her mother's serious illness, Michelle was grieving and in need of comfort. This hymn tune, which she had heard performed in the past, came to her mind and she sat down and penned new words to the melody. It is a gentle, pleading prayer, entreating the Lord to be with us as we go through the various challenges of our lives. Cesigned to be comforting, simple and beautiful, and accessible to singer, accompanist, and listeners.
Lyrics
As I leave thy sure, safe harbor
As I go along thy way,
As the storms of life surround me,
As the darkness clouds the day
[Chorus]
Ever lead me, ever guard me,
Let me know you're always there.
Ever lead me, ever guard me.
Let me know I'm in your care.
To thy strength, I lay my burdens,
To thy voice, I give my will.
To thy sight, I trust my journey,
To thy hands, my needs fulfill.
Chorus
Take me through the darkest hour.
Take me past the deep despair.
Take me on to deeper waters.
Take me 'round the tempter's snare.
Chorus
