If you are lead to bless me.
If you are led to bless me.
Thank you
Steve

Answer
Hello,  I hope you are having a fine weekend,
    My specialty is etymology;  the origins of English words and phrases.  
    Nevertheless,  I'll be happy to answer your question on English usage.
    Example number two (led) is the correct tense of the two choices you submitted. However the construction of the phrase is not conventional and  would not be appropriate in conversation.
    The best to you always,   CP
