Lean On Me
Ron Krieger
From the artist:
When visiting the Big Island of Hawaii several years ago, Pat and I were booked on a tour to Kilauea Volcanoes National Park. One of our first stops before beginning up the mountain was at an old military camp, which at that time was pretty well deserted. I came across this scene in looking at one of the cobwebbed windows of one of the old buildings. You can see the cross represented by the window pane partitions, along with the “good luck” open end up, old rusted horseshoe leaning against the pane. Thus my title “Lean on Me”. If you lean on someone, you depend on them for support and help. Songwriter Bill Withers wrote a song with that title back in 1972. And it has become an inspirational anthem to those rising up after tragedy. You too can lean on Jesus-God when times are difficult.
