Path Forward - 1. You Lead Me Gently

You Lead Me Gently

By: Brandon Haines

You didn’t shove me down— You whispered to me—lowly and gently. Not with thunder, but with tenderness. Not with wrath, but with remembrance.

You led me gently to my knees— Where grief became an altar, There’s Nothing I wouldn’t offer.

And silence became a song.

Where the ache of absence met the mercy of presence.

I didn’t fall. I knelt.

Because love like Yours is sacred.

And doesn’t demand— it draws me to You. And here, on this holy ground of surrender,

I find the strength to rise again.

You didn’t shout from the heavens—

You leaned in close.

Like a father beside my bed,

when the night was too loud

and the fear too deep.

You whispered to me—

lowly and gently,

not to silence my grief,

not to erase the ache,

but to ease the ache,

and You say to me,

“My Child, I got you. You have nothing to fear.”

Where the tears of the desperate

reach the feet of the Savior—

nothing I wouldn’t offer.

Where the heart of surrender

meets the hands of the Maker—

There’s Nothing I wouldn’t offer.

And I am Running—

Oh, back to the One who I am Running to.
