Spirit Lead Me
by Influence Music (Michael Ketterer)
Theology & Meaning
This song's core message is the surrender to the Holy Spirit's guidance, echoing Romans 8:14, 'For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.' It conveys a desire to trust God above ourselves, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Worship Leadership Tips
Often used in times of reflection or commitment, this song can follow a sermon on discernment or surrender. Given its slower tempo and contemplative nature, allow some space between lines for people to pray the words.
Arrangement Tips
The song builds emotionally, so plan a gradual crescendo - perhaps start with piano and a single voice, then add instruments and harmonies as it progresses. You can repeat key lines like 'Spirit lead me' softly at the end.
