I'm Leaning On You
Crowder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus, take the beauty from the pain
Jesus, lift these weary hands again
Turn the silence into songs of praise
Jesus, I am leaning on Your name

I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You

When no one else can help me, Jesus can
Every other name is sinking sand
And even when my heart don't understand
Jesus, I will trust You even then, oh

I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You

And I'm convinced that nothing can ever
Separate us from God's love
Neither death, nor life, no power on earth
Can separate us

Oh I'm confident that nothing can ever
Separate us from God's great love
Neither death, nor life, no power on earth
You promised us

I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You

I'm leaning on You
I'm leaning on You
Leaning on, leaning on




Leaning on, leaning on
Leaning

In times like this, it’s important to know who we can lean on. I've seen enough to know that God has been faithful. We need to remind ourselves of the victories that we’ve seen and been through. That's what and who we need to lean on.

My friends 25 year old son died in his sleep Saturday, there is no cause. He died in his sleep. She weeped over his casket and collapsed at grave site, was the most devastating thing ive seen. This song is perfect. I cant imagine her pain as a mother, my kids are the same age. I stood and weeped and went and held her as she sobbed. Only Jesus can heal her and hold this family up. But, we can all pray for them. RIP🙏🏼😢❤️💖
