Lord Lead Us Through

Lord Lead Us Through

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks
"

A song

"

 

This world gets me annoyed.
I try to just avoid
So I don’t get destroyed.
The stress that gets me down
Don’t want to be around.
Don’t want to hear the sound.
 
The hatred that I fear,
Don’t want it in my mirror
Please let it disappear.
I know You’re by my side
So I don’t have to hide.
Just trying to abide.
Lord, lead me through.
Lord, lead me through.
Lord, lead me through.
I’ll follow You.
Confusion in our eyes,
You see right through our lies.
You know it’s a disguise.
You know when we are true.
You know just what we do.
Can’t hide our sins from you.
 
Sometimes I feel insane.
Is all of this in vain?
Can’t handle all the pain.
Then I think of Your Son.
And everything He’s done.
I know that He’s the One
 
To lead us through.
Lord, lead us through.
Lord, lead us through.
We’ll follow You.
Suffering everywhere
And life seems so unfair
And no one seems to care.
There’s chaos in the air.
Your people live in terror.
Oh Lord, please hear our prayer.
 
Though this world, it may sting
We’ll use our voice to sing
Our praises to the King
And despite everything
To Your words we will cling
Your glory it will ring.
 
You’ll lead us through.
Lord, lead us through.
Lord, lead us through.
We’ll follow You.

Yep...

" IF " ...we follow folow him.

Victory is in our praise .... Get down and crazy...dance like a nut praisin' God ....with at least the abandon we used at the club...or the world series...or when that tax refuind came...

Try throwing down for God when its the last thing your broken spirit feels like...

and...WATCH GOD do his thing !

Love this

Blesssssssssssssss

"Is all of this in vane?" Should be "vain." "Vane" is for a weather vane.

"This world gets me annoyed.
I try to just avoid
So I don't get destroyed."

I know that feeling! Why do people get caught up in such crappy patterns of behavior? We should be loving each other and taking care of each other... *sigh*

Another solid, inspirational piece out of you!

Peace and love,
Gabe
