Track 5: “Leading with Love”

“Leading with Love” is a transformative song that challenges conventional notions of leadership, particularly within the context of manhood and societal expectations. The song confronts the pressure to assert control and climb societal ladders, offering an alternative model based on the example of Yeshua (Jesus), who led through service and humility.

The lyrics candidly address the pitfalls of pride and the emptiness that comes from pursuing self-centered ambitions. By invoking Adonai (Lord) and El Elyon (God Most High), the song seeks divine guidance to reshape the listener’s heart and leadership style.

 The chorus serves as a sincere prayer for the ability to lead without greed, emphasizing the need for the Ruach (Spirit) to instill a love-centered approach to leadership. The bridge further reinforces this by asking God to mold the individual into the image of His Son, highlighting the aspiration to reflect Christ-like qualities in all aspects of life.

“Leading with Love” speaks to men in various leadership roles—whether in the family, workplace, or community—encouraging them to evaluate their motivations and methods. It underscores that true leadership is not about dominance but about uplifting others, serving selflessly, and making a positive impact.

Musically, the song blends uplifting rhythms with soulful melodies, creating an atmosphere that is both inspiring and introspective. The incorporation of Hebrew names for God adds depth and a sense of sacredness, connecting listeners to the biblical foundations of servant leadership.

This track invites listeners to embark on a journey of personal transformation, moving away from ego-driven pursuits toward a life characterized by love, humility, and service. “Leading with Love” is a compelling reminder that the greatest leaders are those who lead by example, mirroring the love and sacrifice demonstrated by Yeshua.

Scripture References: 

        •        Mark 10:42-45 (NIV): “Yeshua called them together and said, ‘…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant… For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…’”

        •        Ephesians 5:25: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Messiah loved the church and gave himself up for her.”

        •        Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves…”

Reflection:

Leadership in God’s kingdom is fundamentally different from worldly leadership. Mark 10:42-45 illustrates that true greatness comes from serving others. Yeshua Himself set the ultimate example by giving His life for us.

Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love their wives sacrificially, just as Messiah loved the church. This love is selfless, nurturing, and unconditional.

Philippians 2:3-4 encourages us to adopt a posture of humility, considering others’ needs above our own. This mindset transforms our relationships and leadership style.

1 Peter 5:2-3 advises leaders to shepherd willingly and be examples rather than domineering. Leading with love means guiding, protecting, and serving those entrusted to us.

Lyrics

Leading with Love

Verse 1:

In a world that shouts to take control,
Climbing ladders can consume the soul.
But Yeshua showed a different way,
Serving others day by day.
Pride has often led me wrong,
But humility makes me strong.

Chorus: 

Adonai, teach me to lead,
With a heart that’s freed from greed.
Ruach, fill me from above,
Guide me to lead with love.

I’ve chased the crowns that fade away,
Ignored the ones along the way.
But now I see through Your eyes,
The greatest leader sacrificed.
Let me be a shepherd true,
Gentle in all I say and do.

Chorus: 

Adonai, teach me to lead,
With a heart that’s freed from greed.
Ruach, fill me from above,
Guide me to lead with love.

El Elyon, Highest One,
Shape me in the image of the Son.
Let my life reflect Your grace,
As I run this humble race.

With a heart that’s freed from greed.
Ruach, fill me from above,
Guide me to lead with love.

With love I lead, with love I give,
In Your truth, I choose to live.
