“Lead Me’ again

I have been thinking about the song, “Lead Me" especially as I think of the younger generation raising children without a true clue of the heart of God concerning a child. I know of young fathers that had no role model and the frustration of joblessness, no money, no transportation and so many other issues leads to despair, I’m sure. As for Lead me, a lot of this is a repost, but it is true for so many: A wife’s heartache, a child’s plea, a husband’s cry for help, it is all there in this beautiful song. A lyrics award should go to this couple for truth and honesty; they portray the hurt and pain that are in so many families. To be fair, though, many husbands just haven’t had the role model to be able to truly lead their families. That is why they would rather work or try to fill their own emptiness with hobbies or anything that will pacify the pain. Most men feel it is their job to “fix” their family and when that is easier said than done, they retreat. It truly won’t be fixed until they do as is said at the end of the song, yield to the Lord:

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?

No one can do it alone and thank God through the Lord Jesus Christ, we don’t have to. This post from What the Lord is Saying Today seems to go along with this song: May 20, 2012. This word is to men. Rise up. Take courage. Lay all your fear aside. Take your rightful, correct place among people and step up to front line. Fight for what is true, accurate, and proper. For too long some have acted in a cowardly manner and sat on the sidelines. Women have stepped to the forefront because men refuse to. This is not a condemning word, but rather an encouraging one. Have noble, upright, and honorable cause in your behavior. Operate from My principled precepts. Be strong and courageous in your thoughts and actions. You have been set apart. Take your rightful place right now as a leader among men.

Here's the lyrics: Sanctus Real - “Lead Me”

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 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

Don’t forget to play the song; it is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lead+me+sanctus+real&aq=0
