Lead Me

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 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.

I get teary every time I hear that song.

{Lead Me by Sanctus Real}

My brother in law, Wes, gave me one of this Christian band's latest albums awhile back featuring this hit song. It is so powerful and so uplifting to me as a mom. I love the entire album, though, and would like to purchase more of their music.

The group is all originally from the Toledo area and I believe I heard they have been Grammy nominated this year! They're touring all over the country, including right nearby at Perrysburg's Cedar Creek Church on NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!

I'm so excited that Wes has the inside scoop on this group (he has one of the drummer's kids in his kindergarten class this year!) because we have arrangements to see the show without having to purchase tickets! I CANNOT wait - it's going to be incredible - and a perfect spiritual message to ring in the new year.

For more info on this group, check out their blog and also the personal blog of one of the band members whose family is struggling with the birth of a son with a rare congenital heart defect.

I also highly recommend purchasing their music. ;)
