Song reminds me of Gaetan

I heard this song a few years ago on the radio, and I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it at first... but now it's one of my favorite songs.  It's called Lead Me by Sanctus Real.  The singer wrote it because of the struggles he was having in his own marriage, and being in a Christian band they weren't going to give up.


Now, I would say that our marriage is rocky free.  And I think the reason why I like this song so much is because it reminds me of all the things Gaetan does for us.  He talks about needing the Lord to lead him, and I know that Gaetan trusts in the Lord with everything.  And I never feel like he is off chasing his own dreams leaving us to fend for ourselves.  Daily, I feel and recognize his efforts and love for us.  Without a shadow I know that I'm still the love of his life because he lets me know it and by his actions.  He makes a big deal out of it when I make his coffee in the morning for him... and I know that is something he could just blow right on by and expect and take for granted, but he never does.  He takes those few seconds in the morning to thank me with such sincerity every day.


I know that it would be so easy to get caught up with all his opportunities, school work, being brilliant, but he keeps everything in check.  I never feel like we are a hassle, or something that he has to do, but being around us is something he loves to do.  So thank you darling.  We appreciate your leadership more than you know.

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
