My (Insignificant) World View

A while back someone asked me what I meant when I said that Jon was the head of our household.  The truth is, I didn't really have a response for them.  What DID I mean?  I knew what it meant I wanted him to do... but what exactly was I wanting from him?  It was hard to define.

Since then my idea of Jon as our leader has become more concrete.  We've talked about it a lot and we pray about it daily.  But a few days ago I heard a really good song by Sanctus Real called "Lead Me."  While it doesn't obviously cover everything, I thought it was a good little description of what I was talking about.

I know that most people either think we're crazy or don't care (hence, my *insignificant* world view)... but I still think it's a wonderful song!


Sanctus Real - “Lead Me”

I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

So 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.
