Show Me...

No matter how often, and when or why I listen to the song "Show Me" by Audrey Assad, I am moved. This song reaches something deep inside of me. It reaches the "honest" me... the one who is not only honest with others but who is honest with myself. I am reminded that while making my way through the complexities of life, no matter how I feel... whether I want to be left to cry, to lie, to "be" or to rest in Christ, I have that freedom and God is always there for me... no strings attached. 

I decided to make this slideshow to go along with the beautiful song written by Audrey Assad & Sarah Hart. Below is the lyric and the link to the video. May the Lord bless you, your families and your friends.

You could plant me like a tree beside a river

You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild

And I would blossom like a flower in the desert

But for now just let me cry.

You could raise me like a banner in a battle

Put victory like a fire behind my shining eyes

And I would drift like falling snow over the embers

But for now just let me lie.

Bind up these broken bones

Mercy bend and breathe me back to life

But not before You show me how to die.

Set me like a star before the morning

Like a song that steals the darkness from a world asleep

And I'll illuminate the path You've laid before me

But for now just let me be.

Bind up these broken bones

Mercy bend and breathe me back to life

But not before You show me how to die

Oh, not before You show me how to die.

So let me go like a leaf upon the water

Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea

And I will disappear into a deeper beauty

But for now just stay with me

God, for now just stay with me
