The Song: Leaning

Leaning by Matt Maher is an encouragement to us that even though we are in tough times, Jesus tells us that we’re not alone. 

“There are times in life where on either side of a difficult season you’re either asking, ‘How am I going to get through this?’ or, you’re on the other side looking back in amazement saying, ‘How did I get through this?’ That’s where I find that the most sincere, real, authentic prayers get prayed.”

Matt Maher

The official live video of Leaning was recorded in Nashville Tennessee on September 30, 2021.

Song Lyrics

Leaning (Live)
Let my yes be yes
To you oh Lord
Let my no be no
To the things of this world
If I rise or fall
If I stand at all
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
What a fellowship
What a joy divine
What a priceless gift
God I’m yours and you are mine
Let my restless soul
Be still and know
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
From the morning sun
And mercys new
To the evening stars
Every promise is true
As I walk this world
I am held by you
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
What a fellowship
What a joy divine
What a priceless gift
God I’m yours and you are mine
Let my restless soul
Be still and know
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
The more I’m leaning
The more I’m flying
Feels less like dying
More like living for Heaven on Earth
The more I’m leaning
The more I’m flying
Feels less like dying
More like living for Heaven on Earth
The more I’m leaning
The more I’m flying
Feels less like dying
More like living for Heaven on Earth
For Heaven on Earth
What a fellowship
What a joy divine
What a priceless gift
God I’m yours and you are mine
Let my restless soul
Be still and know
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
I am leaning on your everlasting arms
