@@danby8880 Doesn't the video show Will Owsley playing the riff? I realize he didn't originate the guitar line, but that's him playing in that concert.
Totally agree , Will was an awesome guitarist.This video introduced me to his music and I was blown away by how good it was. In my opinion his music was worth way more than the recognition he got
I believe that is Dan Huff. Yes, I really really like this riff. Unfortunately, I feel this song is more of a performance song and not something I would expect a church worship band to play.
These two sang me through the 90’s while I was raising my sweet girls... I’ll never forget those years... and I’m so thankful for these two.. praise to our Lord!!!!
These two and their songs are a big part of who I am in Christ today. I would love the opportunity to thank them in person but this will do for now. THANK YOU for being who you are and sharing your gifts.
@@lucaspietro2502 according to those closest to him, he thought that his life and career meant nothing to anyone. Yet the amount of people who know who he is playing guitar tells a different story. That his career and life did mean something to people. It's so sad that he didn't think that way. He is truly missed 😔
Michael W. Smith es uno de los pioneros en canciones gospel en inglés,luego vinieron Evans Kraft y compañía,bendiciendo a toda América con sus canciones,amen...
Ohhhh heck yes I would have been standing RIGHT up and cheering. Those two, Smitty and Amy, were THE heavy hitters of CCM in the 80s and early 90s and it wouldn't be what it is today w/out them. CHILLS.
The backing vocal is Kim Keyes, and if you notice, she actually takes over at 4:57. She's like the prized treasure of Amy Grant, Peter Cetera almost got into a feud with Amy because he wanted her so badly he tried to poach her (she acctually left Amy's team to work with Peter for a while, toured with him, and she's featured in his Salt Lake City concert DVD. But nowadays I believe they share her, I've seen her in recent videos for both singers. Anyways, she's one of the most amazing singers I've ever heard in my entire life. She TOTALLY deserved a solo career of her own. Look her name up, she's done some AMAZING things!
@@Cindy4343d oh wow, I was super lucky to see her when he came to Brazil in 2013 then... It was so incredible, I got to scream "LOVE YOU, KIM" from the audience, she saw me and blew me a kiss haha. I'm super glad to know I was there, then...
Mr Smith & and Amy , I worked for Sunshine Festival, for over 20 years the best thing ever had happened to me! Bob Poe was the man that got me involved with mouth for Christ, so many people and things I would receive from all of my sisters and brothers in Christ!! I would be not in the right place with great time and friends! God bless you ❤️🩹 and keep making your great music, I lesson too many of your songs.
@@maranooka That's the amazing Kim Keyes. She's basically been on everyones' albums - and for good reason. Just an incredible talent, disciplined and hard-working and by all counts a wonderful person too. Have at look at kimkeyes.com
"Hosanna" and "Gloria" (his Angels We Have Heard on High remix) are Smitty's most beautiful melodies. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!".....remember that one? Lead Me On has a powerful intro, but do you remember the Gloria piano intro? Like angels dancing on a piano. This is why MWS said "this is probably my favorite song that I've written for SOMEONE ELSE." This isn't the best song he's written.
This song brought me back to Christ at a time when I was drifting away. I first heard it when I saw Amy Grant in concert in New Orleans many years ago. Life changing.
So it is 2023, and I am listening to this song while war rages in the middle east Hundreds of Israelies and Palestinians are dying ,each day the hatred and dispair grows ...we drown in the wake of our power , someone tell me why !
I still like listening to Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Petra, Whiteheart and other Christian artists that I still have here in my apartment, such as Farrell and Farrell, Sheila Walsh etc :)
I remember having a similar reaction to the crowd, seeing this video for the first time maybe 2 years ago. I thought Michael was going to do it, but when Amy walked on stage...my eyes shot out of my head.
The second verse is describing the Holocaust during WWII, right? I’ve never heard a Christian song like this before or since. I’m no longer an evangelical but still love this song. It rings genuine.
I thought so, with the yellow star, the train ride, the gas chambers! Wow! So deep! Also for slavery as well. Working against their will, singing to the holy one for deliverance!
@@peterandolph7628 I know one verse is about the Holocaust. Another verse is about slavery in Egypt and the Exodus but also doubles as slavery in the American South and the Underground Railroad.
@hollinsd this was from Michael W. Smith's concert DVD celebrating the 20th anniversary of his first album. Amy came out and sang this and a couple other songs with him. As for Will...I'm not sure
I'd completely forgotten that Michael had written (co-written?) this. Very, very talented guy!! And of course, Amy sounds fantastic. She really made this one her own.
Still thinking about Will Owsley, Amy's guitarist for many years, who committed suicide in 2010. And Ray is a beast on the drums on this song... as usual!
A great song, well written by Michael W Smith, and beautifully delivered by a gracefully aging Amy Grant. as with most special talents, you could pick her out of 1000 singers with no problem. but come on, how about the best singer on the stage on this day? Her name is Kim Keyes. What an amazing vocalist. And they actually give her camera shot at the end. Well deserved. She’s wonderful.
Miss Amy ascends the steps- confidently & professionally. Sings her heart out.. and that band! I mean, wasn't she like 14 when she made her first record?
Stephen Wiley He was on electric guitar? I thought it could be Dan Huff, but didn’t know much of these Nashville guys back in the day. I always read the liner notes but didn’t ever see their faces... HE DID AN AWESOME JOB! PERFECTION!
Lead me on Emy Grant beautiful song 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 Cry 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. 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.
For those asking about the backup singer, that’s Kim Keyes. She is wonderfully talented and has sung backup for many great artists, but I have seen her the most on tours with Amy Grant.
❤ Amy Grant and Michael W Smith ⛪ All time greats singing Praises to God and Jesus ! This song had to be composed by God and given to Michael W Smith ! So Beautiful Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Kim Keyes. Amy often said that some of her back up vocalists were much better singers than her, and that it was only the "grace of God" that led her to sing for thousands. She's always been very humble.
Brother Michael w.smith well he is with the lord as he sings❤❤❤❤
I am breaking so bad..still calling the LORD TO SAFE MY SOUL WHILE AM HERE❤❤❤
My wonderful sister in christ❤❤❤til today I listen to this glorious song❤️❤️❤️
RIP Will Owsley - such a talented guitarist!
What a talent. What a tragedy.
The guitar track is all Dann Huff

@@danby8880 On the album, yes, but in this live version it's Will Owsley, who is no longer with us.
Masterpiece! One rare occasion when the live version was better than the studio recording.
I personally prefer live, even though I know that in studio the quality might be better.
The level of the electric guitar in this live mix (along with excellent playing) gives the song a real edge that other versions don't quite have.
I believe that is Dan Huff. Yes, I really really like this riff. Unfortunately, I feel this song is more of a performance song and not something I would expect a church worship band to play.
I think the friendship between Michael W Smith and Amy Grant is very beautiful. They love each other like brothers.
Yep, too bad they went Woke.

I will always love this song because of the fantastic guitar part
I think it was such a bonus that Michael edited Will as the highlight is this video. Well, that and Kim.
Ohhhh heck yes I would have been standing RIGHT up and cheering. Those two, Smitty and Amy, were THE heavy hitters of CCM in the 80s and early 90s and it wouldn't be what it is today w/out them. CHILLS.
Magic at 5:15 where it’s not about Amy but the backingvocal and guitarist decide to take things a little higher at the end ... magic 🤗👍
You know what magic is and means, right?
The backing vocal is Kim Keyes, and if you notice, she actually takes over at 4:57.

2:29 amazing how the word “it’s“ changes the impact from the original version.
Instrumental starting juste Amazing
Back up singers have great pipes!!
Isn't that Crystal Lewis ?
@@maranooka That's the amazing Kim Keyes. She's basically been on everyones' albums - and for good reason. Just an incredible talent, disciplined and hard-working and by all counts a wonderful person too. Have at look at kimkeyes.com
I love this song. Probably the best written by Michael Smith
That is a massive sheet - he has written a lot of superb songs!
He wrote the music, Amy and Wayne Kirkpatrick wrote the lyrics.
"Hosanna" and "Gloria" (his Angels We Have Heard on High remix) are Smitty's most beautiful melodies. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!".....remember that one? Lead Me On has a powerful intro, but do you remember the Gloria piano intro?

11/17/2012...Almost the same intro and I almost cried. I FINALLY get to see Amy after 3 tries and I welled up. 😊
17 years ago... my my my. Just the other day seems like this DVD came out 😢
I was just going to ask if anyone knew when this came was filmed? Amy was 43, 3 years married to Vince and had 2-yr old Corrina. WOW!
@@nikkivenable3700 Recorded October 26, 2003, in Columbus, Ohio
Love the full bass on this song
This song brought me back to Christ at a time when I was drifting away. I first heard it when I saw Amy Grant in concert in New Orleans many years ago. Life changing.
Late summer 1991 tour with Kim Hill 🏆🏆
gr8 memories...love this song and I've loved this woman...thru it All!!
utbr01 any grant cannot sing
You may not think she is an above average singer but the clip obviously shows her singing :)
So it is 2023, and I am listening to this song while war rages in the middle east
Hundreds of Israelies and Palestinians are dying ,each day the hatred and dispair grows ...we drown in the wake of our power , someone tell me why !
Unreal! Fantastic song! One of the best ever IMHO!!
Amy Grant wonderful pure velvet vocals
I still like listening to Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Petra, Whiteheart and other Christian artists that I still have here in my apartment, such as Farrell and Farrell, Sheila Walsh etc :)
What a Beautiful song ❤❤❤
I remember having a similar reaction to the crowd, seeing this video for the first time maybe 2 years ago. I thought Michael was going to do it, but when Amy walked on stage...my eyes shot out of my head.
You did a great job Amy, and all 😊
Oh~ What a wonderful duo it is ! I like to see very talented singers all together~
The second verse is describing the Holocaust during WWII, right? I’ve never heard a Christian song like this before or since. I’m no longer an evangelical but still love this song. It rings genuine.
Definitely.
I can't get enough of this song ❤❤❤
Wow, in the quarantine, I've resorted to the oldies (but goldies) ....love smitty and Amy singing together
I love this song and the guitar part is especially tasty.
A very deep meaningful multi layered song
What a beautiful song! Her voice has always touched my heart!
This song is amazing. I love this song.
Michael wrote this song about the Jewish People. Makes me cry from deep within every time I hear it.
I thought so, with the yellow star, the train ride, the gas chambers! Wow! So deep! Also for slavery as well. Working against their will, singing to the holy one for deliverance!
Michael Smith wrote the music. Wayne Kirkpatrick and Amy wrote the lyric about the concentration camps.
@@peterandolph7628 I know one verse is about the Holocaust. Another verse is about slavery in Egypt and the Exodus but also doubles as slavery in the American South and the Underground Railroad.

Epic! Loved this back in the day! Still hits hard- LOVE Amy & Michael W. Smith!
God I love them and that song!!!
I'm not even into Christan music but that guitar work was clean as.

MORE than a performance

Best guitar parts ever!
Que vocal incrível! Me arrepiei e chorei ao mesmo tempo!
Who is the guitarist... He ABSOLUTELY nails it. Hot...
William Reese Owsley III, known professionally as simply Owsley. It's so sad seeing him play. He looked so happy, but apparently he wasn't. RIP 😔
Still thinking about Will Owsley, Amy's guitarist for many years, who committed suicide in 2010. And Ray is a beast on the drums on this song... as usual!
I had no idea...oh man that's sad..I can only pray God had mercy, man...smh..
Amazing song, amazingly written, greatly performed. One of the most inspired Christian anthems I know to date.
Love it!!!!
A great song, well written by Michael W Smith, and beautifully delivered by a gracefully aging Amy Grant. as with most special talents, you could pick her out of 1000 singers with no problem. but come on, how about the best singer on the stage on this day?

Lead me on Emy Grant beautiful song
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
Cry 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.
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.
That back up singer that confidently belts out a flat note at the end cracks me up every time lol
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...

Wow, what a performance!
Absolutely❤

Good song congrats Mr & Mrs michael
Amy Grant isn't his wife.
For those asking about the backup singer, that’s Kim Keyes. She is wonderfully talented and has sung backup for many great artists, but I have seen her the most on tours with Amy Grant.
Thank you for clearing this .
I’ve always wondered who she was. Didn’t know her name or anything and all my Google searches were fruitless
