Knowing

This song should be sung slowly, with an awareness of its circular pattern. The
words ‘lead me where you will’ are particularly soothing and repetitive. They calm
the children and create a sense of God’s love for them. The rhythm of this song is
also very important. The children should feel the triple beat.
This song may be used as either a personal or group meditation. When in a group,
it may be helpful to divide the children into two smaller groups. Begin the song
with group one singing ‘lead me where you will’ twice through. This creates a sense
of giving their lives over to God. Group two then stresses God’s personal presence
in their lives by singing ‘you guide me, you know me…’ Conclude the song with
group one repeating ‘lead me where you will’ twice.
