Lead Me (to Calvary) - Original Song

Lead Me (to Calvary)

Verse 1
Holy God You're here
And You've given me
This lifetime to remember
And fall upon my knees
Oh my God You died
So that I could see
The way Your heart is made
It took you to the grave

Bridge
But now the stars shine brighter
Than the sun upon the sea
And the creatures of the Earth
Sing Your name above all things...we sing

Chorus
You're God my God
The only One for me
And I give You all the joy and pain
That live inside of me
Hold my hand and lead me now
Straight to Calvary
To see the tears run down Your face
As they nail You to that tree
May Your cries pierce through my soul each time
Sin calls me

Verse 2
Every mile I walk conflict pulls at me
Transparent chains that bind
The heart nobody sees
But here You come again
A wielding sword in hand
Slicing all that binds this worn and broken man

Bridge
But now the stars shine brighter
Than the sun upon the sea
And the creatures of the Earth
Sing Your name above all things...we sing

Chorus
You're God my God
The only One for me
And I give You all the joy and pain
That live inside of me
Hold my hand and lead me now
Straight to Calvary
To see the tears run down Your face
As they nail You to that tree
May Your cries pierce through my soul each time
Sin calls me
It calls me

Chorus
You're God my God
The only One for me (It calls me)
And I give You all the joy and pain
That lives inside of me (It calls me)
You're God my God
The only One for me (It calls me)
And I give You all the joy and pain
That lives inside of me
Hold my hand and lead me now
Straight to Calvary
To see the tears run down Your face
As they nail You to that tree
May Your cries pierce through my soul each time
Sin calls me

Very good song Jeremy.  Great message and good composition. I don't even know what to say that hasn't been said already. I would love to hear you do this song with Casting Crowns!

Keep on rockin' with Christ bro!

Very powerful song, Jeremy. Musically and lyrically.

[coolstormyknight]

Hey...Thank you very much. Actually, I did some of the guitar, vocals, and bass work and recorded it on my digital multitrack recorder at home. Then I took it to my church and our drummer added the drum track to it. Then I took it back home and added the lead guitar stuff...and most of what you hear at the end of the song. Thanks again!
