Lead Me...

Heard this song for the first time today and really felt God speaking to me! I don't want to be so caught up all the day-to-day and not be intentional about leading my children in God's ways! Whether it's just taking time to discipline, talk with them, pray with them, etc. It's overwhelming to think about how I need to change, but I know the more overwhelming it seems, the more I need to depend on my Father for strength and guidance! I'm thankful to have a great husband who leads our family and is by my side through all the chaos.

Sanctus Real - Lead Me (From the album Pieces of a Real Heart)

I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...

Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, 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”

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 in 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
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
