I am leaning in with a quiet trust / To my source of life, to the one I love / I am drawing near with my hands held high / For I know that You satisfy / And the same grace that saved me / Is the same grace that keeps me … / Leaning, leaning on You, Jesus / Leaning on the wonders of Your Cross / I am leaning, leaning on You, Jesus / Leaning on the everlasting arms / I am following where Your Spirit leads / Ever marveling at Your love for me / I am listening to Your still small voice / It’s mightier than the fiercest storm / And the same grace that saved me / Is the same grace that keeps me … / How sweet it is to trust You, Lord / I’m learning how to trust You more / Oh, I will trust in the name of the Lord, my God

Behind the Song:
“This is another one that Nathan and I wrote together… There are so many things in our culture right now that people want us to lean into, and they’re all good things. Whether that’s leaning into church, leaning into your local Bible study, leaning into this; tweet this; be involved in this… So this song was just a private worship [moment] in my life to say, ‘I’m leaning into You, Jesus.’ The thing is, when you’re putting your trust fully in the Lord, I think you have the capacity for Kingdom things in a way that you didn’t before when you were trusting in man. When you trust the Lord, you’re making that a declaration in your life, and that can actually lead you to do Kingdom things. It frees you to do things that were prepared in advance for you, and I think the way that you get your Kingdom assignment is to lean into Jesus.”
