On to our song for Monday. This song really touches my heart, as a prayer of a man who wants to be a good steward of his family. It's my hope that men can stand up and put their families first. I have seen a wonderful example of this. I worked for a family in college and the father really put his family first and strived to live a Godly life to model for his children. I am grateful for that wonderful example and believe that if more men lived this out, we'd see less broken families and less violence. Children need a role model and mom's need a leader of the family and a husband to back them up.
Lead Me
by: Sanctus Reel
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...
Chorus:
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 independent
but on the inside, i can hear them saying...
Lead me with strong hands
stand up with i can't
don't leave me hungry for love
chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me your 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 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 them the best of my life
so we can call this our home
lead, 'cause i can't do this alone
Father lead me, 'cause i can't do this alone
This song really touches my heart as a man's prayer to take care of his family. I hope that all of you have someone who does these things for you, but if you don't, DON'T forget that your heavenly father can and does do all these things. Remember that he will stand up for you and you are never far from this heart. Our hearts are so desperate for love and approval and we look to the men in our lives to provide that to us (read Captivating by John Eldredge and you'll know all about it) we desperately need a man to love us and guide us because our hearts cry out for that.
My prayer is that God brings forth men of great character, who seek God's will for their role in their family.
