Trivia
- The line "Lead me, Guide me" in the song Like You was inspired by a prayer by Neal's Father.
- The song Lonely People was written to be a second movement of the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby.
- Neal's song "All These Things" was released on a compilation album by LifeWay Christian Resources featuring music by Chris Tomlin, Jars of Clay, and many other Christian music favorites in 2006 entitled "Our Great God."
- The hidden track at the end of the "Lead On..." album was originally intended to be a full song that would begin the next record.
- The picture on the back of the "Lead On..." album was inspired by a similar picture on the back of a James Taylor album.
