Hide Me

It's funny how you can have a CD for quite sometime and a few of the songs may hit you, but the rest is just sweet, cute songs that you sing along with. Then one day comes and EVERY SINGLE SONG speaks right to you! It's almost weird! That's what happened when I turned on my Kirk Franklin CD the other day. I relate almost too well to every song all of a sudden.

The lyrics are long for this song, but it's amazing... and it's totally my song right now. I admit I don't have the attitude of this song... not yet (Rain DON'T go away? Pff... I don't think so!), but God is definitely refining me toward it.

Enjoy the song. I put a video with it. There is actually nothing to watch but you can at least listen to it while you read the lyrics. Very good. God is good. :)


Hide Me - Kirk Franklin



I know You see us

I know you hear us

And You fill us when we pray

You understand us, See deep inside us

Translate tears and take them away

I'm a be honest,

There are times

Your ways and method's, I don't understand

It seems so far, Tell me who You are

I know your touch, but can't see Your plan.

I'm lost in this thing called life,

Left to me now feels right

It's Your turn now, I wanna be where you are

[Refr:]

Hide me

Let me live behind You

Cause I need

Shelter from the rain

Remind me

The only way my faith can grow

Is when You let Your winds blow

You're making me stronger now, so rain,

Don't go away

Don't go away

[Verse 2:]

I'd admit

It'd be nice

To have some light shine down on me

Especially,When, Lord I shall be, You don't always let me see

It ain't easy,

But I'm trying hard to get out of Your way

To believe

That what You say

That my change begins today.

The road includes some pain,

And to grow you need some rain

And when it falls, I wanna be where You are

[Refr.]

[Bridge:]

Cause there's some much I see

Needs to grow inside of me

In the fire I realize

Before I live, I have to die

Please believe me when I say

I can't waste another day

It's so easy to complain

But complain don't make a change

Not the victim anymore

All the things God has in store

If I ain't ready don't let the rain

Go away

Don't go away

[Refr.:]

Hide me (Can I just hang out behind you?)

Cause I need (It's cold out here; this rain)

Remind me
The only way my faith can grow

Is when You let Your winds blow

You're making me stronger now (It don't feel good right now, but I had to realize...)

You're making me stronger now (It's necessary. You're tryin' to build me up)

You're making me stronger now (You're taking away everything that's not like you, Jesus)

You're making me stronger now (It's that breaking process)

You're making me stronger now (Your delay is not a denial, I realize)

You're making me stronger now (You love me too much to give me too much, Jesus)

You're making me stronger now (Your plan is perfect even when I'm not)

You're making me stronger now (I can't rely on my own strength this time)

You made me stronger now (I cry when I worship)

You made me stronger now (???)

You made me stronger now (Forgiving my enemies)

You made me stronger now

(When daddy walked out) He made me stronger now

(When momma gave me up) She made me stronger now

(Everybody that gave up on me) They made me stronger now

(I need to write you a thank you letter) They made me stronger now

(Cause you made me) You made me stronger now

(Jesus I thank you) You made me stronger now

(I can see clearly now) You made me stronger now

(I didn't understand it at first) You made me stronger now

(I even got mad at you) You made me stronger now

(Cause you were taking too long) You made me stronger now

(But I'm sorry daddy) You made me stronger now

(Your ways are not my ways) You made me stronger now

Eavesdropping?

I can never decide if it is a blessing or a curse when there is a conversation that I REALLY want to contribute to, but I either can't because I don't know the people who are talking so that would be super weird to jump in, I shouldn't because I would say something that would only make more trouble, or, as in this case, I am not a member of the site where the (online) conversation is taking place and it would be odd for me to join the site just so I can put in my two cents.

So... Since I can't join the discussion, I shall blog about it! ;) (This isn't being passive-aggressive is it? I don't think so. Brothers and sisters call me out on it if it is, please!)

Anyway, we come to the discussion of clothing.



Sigh... Darn it!! Ok so God didn't want me to write about this. Just as I was typing I received a text message with a reference to a verse:

"Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene."

-2 Timothy 2:14-17

Alrighty... lesson of the day (or at least hour)? If I am not meant to be apart of the conversation, I must not be meant to talk about it. Period. I guess it was passive-aggressiveness after all? Hmmm...
