Lean
Tricia Brock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This road to holiness is paved with burden
My path is never straight, I'm so uncertain
Your love is nothing less than a lamp unto my feet
So I can see

This world wants to steal your hope from my heart
But mercy's stronger still than my struggles are
Your love is nothing less than a life laid down for me
And a place where I can lean

So I will lean upon the cross
I will lean into Your love
Your Spirit's living in me, alive in me
I will sing when there is no song

In the dark, Lord Your light is strong
Your Spirit's living in me
Your Spirit's living in me so I will lean
I will lean

You will not forsake my soul to darkness
You'll not abandon me for you are God with us
And I am nothing less than everything to You
Than everything to You





Leaning, leaning, safe from every harm
I am leaning, leaning, in Your arms, in Your arms
