Lead Me Back

Morgan Harper Nichols' song 'Lead Me Back' is a heartfelt plea for spiritual guidance and renewal. The lyrics convey a sense of overwhelming confusion and the struggle to maintain control in a chaotic world. The opening lines, 'Slow down, only you can save me,' set the tone for a journey of surrender and trust. Nichols acknowledges the futility of trying to hold on to the chaos and recognizes the need to let go and seek a higher power for salvation.

The recurring theme of breaking down walls and tearing down lies symbolizes the process of dismantling false beliefs and barriers that have been built over time. These walls represent the defenses and misconceptions that prevent true spiritual connection. By asking to 'come alive in you,' Nichols expresses a desire for a deeper, more authentic relationship with the divine. The repetition of this plea emphasizes the urgency and sincerity of her quest for truth and renewal.

The song also highlights the transient nature of the world, contrasting it with the eternal presence of the divine. Lines like 'For this world will slip away, Lord you will still remain' remind listeners of the impermanence of earthly concerns and the enduring nature of spiritual truth. The imagery of the sun shining each day and the call to 'rise and seek your face' further reinforce the idea of daily renewal and the continuous journey towards spiritual fulfillment. 'Lead Me Back' is a powerful anthem of faith, surrender, and the relentless pursuit of divine connection.
