Hit of the Week

I love radio.  I despise video games, like some TV shows, but I love radio.

Sometimes radio playlists hit a slump.  Artists all seem to offer up awful to just so so songs all at once.  Country radio is in a slump like that right now.  Hip-hop radio has been in a slump for about 15 years now.
But this month, contemporary Christian radio is on a hitting streak.  Great artists putting out great songs.  I rarely use a current hit as song of the week, but I'm going to this time.  The first time I heard this song on the radio it punched me in the gut.  I believe in serendipity and the providence of God.  I'm thankful that Sanctus Real released this song at just the right time, just when I needed it.  If you know a husband or daddy who needs this song, please share it with them.


“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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/sanctus-real-lyrics/lead-me-lyrics.html ]
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
