Lead Me Not

A new passage is ending;
the shadows spill around.
Lead me not to darkness,
where the mind manufactures what is false.
Lead me not.

Dial You up; dial me down.
Get a signal, or give a sign.
Let Your Spirit touch mine.
Hold fast my hand,
that I'll not fall behind.

A new passage is over;
the light leaks in.
Lead me not to breaking dawn,
where senses succumb to what is true.
Lead me not.

Lift You up; let me down.
Paint a picture or draw a line,
let Your Spirit touch mine.
Breathe into my body,
and kick my behind.

So broken by the day.
So tempted by the night.
Lead me to neither; lead me not.
