Luister naar het in­druk­wek­ken­de ‘Lead Me On’ op de In­ter­na­ti­o­na­le Her­den­kings­dag voor de Holocaust

In 2019 zong Pearl Jozefzoon in de Sint Catharijnekerk in Brielle het indrukwekkende lied ‘Lead Me On’, dat onder andere over de Holocaust vertelt. Het vertelt over het lijden van de Joden, maar dat zij tegelijkertijd hun blik op God gericht hielden. Wat krachtig en indrukwekkend!  

Kijk en luister je mee naar ‘Lead Me On’?

Liedtekst

Shoulder to the wheel 
For someone else's selfish gain 
Here there is no choosing 
Working the clay 
Wearing their anger 
like a ball and chain. 

Fire in the field 
Underneath a blazing sun 
But soon the sun was faded 
And freedom was a song 
I heard them singing 
when the day was done 
Singing to the holy One. 

Lead me on 
Lead me on 
To a place where the river runs 
Into your keeping, oh. 
Lead me on 
Lead me on 
The awaited deliverance 
Comforts the seeking, 
lead on. 

Waiting for the train 
Labelled with a golden star 
Heavy hearted boarding 
Whispers in the dark 
Where are we going 
is it very far 

Bitter cold terrain 
Echoes of a slamming door 
In chambers made for sleeping, forever 
Voices like thunder 
in a mighty roar 
Crying to the Lord. 

Lead me on 
Lead me on 
To a place where the river runs 
Into your keeping, oh. 
Lead me on 
Lead me on 
The awaited deliverance 
Comforts the seeking, 
lead on. 

Man hurts man 
Time and time, time again 
And we drown in the wake of our power 
Somebody tell me why. 

Oh Lead me on 
Lead me on 
To a place where the river runs 
Into your keeping, oh. 
Lead me on 
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance 
Comforts the seeking, 
lead on. 

Lead me on 
Lead me on 
To a place where the river runs 
Into your keeping, oh. 
Lead me on 
Lead me on 
The awaited deliverance 
Comforts the seeking, 
lead on.
