This has been a lot of fun. This song, I think is the thirteenth gospel song that I have published on the blog. In the blog year 2015 you will find 53 original songs penned by myself or my son Jason. All with the grace of God and some with the assistance of the holy spirit. The song "Lead Them Home" was written in the early 1970s and inspired by the word of God, usually the King James Version.
If for no other reason but to lift my spirits and sing God's praise.
If you should wonder about the verse that says to keep them under his blood, the bible says in 1st John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. In Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.

"LEAD
THEM HOME"
©1994
John Blodgett
There are brothers and sisters lost in
the darkness.
Reach out and take them by the hand.
Reach out in spirit, let Jesus guide us.
Lead them into life through forgiveness
of sin.
(Refrain)
Lead them home, home, home to Jesus
That's his own wonderful plan
Win a soul, a soul, a soul for Jesus
Through his holy word into that heavenly
land.
Close friends and neighbors, all who
will listen
Tell them of the love and the mercy of
God
Relatives and friends. All who will
listen
Lead them back to life, keep them under
his blood
(Refrain)
Lead them home, home, home to Jesus
That's his own wonderful plan
Win a soul, a soul, a soul for Jesus
Through his holy word into that heavenly
land.
The kingdom draws nearer, it's time for
the harvest
draw back and let his sickle swing
Have faith and fear not, nothing can
harm us
Prepare for the coming of the king.
(Refrain)
Lead them home, home, home to Jesus
That's his own wonderful plan
Win a soul, a soul, a soul for Jesus
Through his holy word into that heavenly
land.
