Lead Me.....

Sanctus Real has a song they put out this past year called Lead Me. Every time we'd hear it in the car, we (Big Princess and I) would sing along.  It wasn't until recently though that I focused on exactly what the lyrics were and there is a part that nailed me between the eyes.  This song writer wrote this for his wife and family and it is oh so raw to me.  I'm not sure what 2011 will hold for me or for my children; however, the lyrics listed below have been my prayer thus far:


I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?

To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up

I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone

Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
(Lead Me, by Sanctus Real)
