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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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, 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 want to 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 am a wife in a christian marriage of 27 years. This song sings my heart's cry as I watch my husband spin his wheels at trying to be the provider financially, chasing his dreams, but missing it totally in all other areas. I am past hungry. The children have lost their father to his dreams, their cries unheard.... It's comforting to hear my heart be put into song when I don't have the words to express it myself. Thank You Sanctus Real!!

    This song has touched my heart.....my husband and I have been married nineteen years....I am so tired though of being alone in my heart and mind and spiritually raising my children alone. There is so much pain I sung some of the words to him last night...I hope he gets it.

    I absolutely LOVE this song...I'm a single woman who would love my future husband to have this heart and courage to cry out to his Father for help to lead his family the way he's supposed to...

    Please go to the website for Sanctus Real . . . On the main page toward the bottom,there is a "Lead Me" prayer for the wife to pray, for the husband to pray and for both to pray for their children. It&#039s in PDF format so you can download it and print them out. I just did and am going to ask my wife to commit to praying this prayer every day for 30 days with me. We are currently separated and we have 4 wonderful children that I am fighting for. The enemy wants your marriage and your children&#039s hearts to be destroyed. Men, DON&#039T LET IT HAPPEN!!!!Ladies, I didn&#039t truly start to fight for my wife and family until I read a book by John Eldridge called "Fathered by God". It&#039s life changing and I recommend your men to read it. Chris

    This is a great song (prayer); I wish I knew this when my now ex-husband was around. I can't help but think things may have been different if he could have been inspired by this message. I am so looking for a man who has this same prayer in his heart.
