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

Just wanted to thank you for posting the lyrics with what Kirk says, it adds so much to this song. I tried to figure out what he says were the question marks are, but it's really hard.

God bless.

P.S. How cool, is it that someone across the globe can share the yoy listning to a song. Kirk Franklins international apeal I guess.

Thanks for making your way over Gayan! It's so cool to see how the Gospel reaches people in all different places and through different types of music too! God bless!
