joshua kriese – lead the way lyrics
[verse 1: joshua kriese]
another day and night go by
you left us sitting here
chilling at the kitchen table
giving us a distant stare
wanna spark a fire of desire but there’s nothing there
inconsistency made us resistant and it’s crystal clear
p-ss the buck to youth groups and pastors
no problem
got us out the house on friday nights
you sipping cold bottles
you sinking in that liquor
how is you a role model?
this what your beliefs get you?
keep it all
i don’t want ’em
some years later you just broke down
three lost kids living in your crib
thinking there’s no hope now
in spite of your guidance
my pride subsided
toned down
not justifying your lack of leadership
you ain’t know how
[hook: marrio esco]
you were gonna lead the way
you promised you were here to stay
you’ll be here by today
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you were gonna lead the way
you promised you were here to stay
(that’s what you promised, remember?)
you’ll be here by today
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
[verse 2: joshua kriese]
but hold up
’cause if i’m honest i struggle with that same sin in me
conditioned for lack of discipline and p-ssivity
yo, there’s been times when my son’ll just come and sit with me
witness me reading scripture
but i dip when it’s time for ministry
i’ve had my wife call me out on my lack of leadership
but if my integrity’s lacking
what do i lead ’em with?
there’s no excuse for my blatant lack of obedience
reason is this is j’s son
and i’m called to be seasoning
it can be tedious sometimes
but that ain’t no excuse
if i won’t teach em then how are they supposed to know the truth
lord make my teachings expedient so they know it’s you
working through every reading and hymn we singing to point to you
save ’em from broken youth by keeping me refreshed and holy
’cause i’ve been present and yet my family’s stressed and lonely
they feeling stretched and neglected and wanna get to know me
render me effective
invested all in their testimonies
[hook: marrio esco]
you were gonna lead the way
you promised you were here to stay
you’ll be here by today
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you were gonna lead the way
you promised you were here to stay
(that’s what you promised, remember?)
you’ll be here by today
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
you’ll be gone by tomorrow
[verse 3: joshua kriese]
there ain’t no reason for lack of leaders in fatherhood
our kids in need of their pops to do things a father should
god ain’t pleased with it when we leaving and call it good
falling back to eden when adam bit and he understood
since that first disregard of responsibility
we’re all fallen and this is part of our history
you can be a dad to your kids and still failing miserably
finicky with your witness
diminished lacking consistency
it’s not about being there
we need someone to lead us
yeah, you pay the bills/ but do you point your kids to jesus?/ they might love the game and system they saw daddy purchase/ but are you actively teaching your kids in family worship?/ i just wanna encourage you/ we got a promise from god we can see em flourish dude/ this for my sons and my daughters/ anyone can be a dad/ it takes a man to be a father
[hook: joshua kriese]
i promise i’mma lead the way
i promise i’ll be here to stay
i’ll be here for today
i’ll be here for tomorrow
i’ll be here for tomorrow, yeah
i promise i’mma lead the way
i promise i’ll be here to stay
(that’s what you promised, remember?)
i’ll be here for today
i’ll be here for tomorrow
i’ll be here for tomorrow, yeah
