Lead Me

We love love love hearing a Christian song on the radio that speaks about a husband being with his wife the way she needs him to be; about him being the man that God calls him to be. Sanctus Real gets it with their song, Lead Me.

The first video is the story behind the lyrics of the song; the second is the music video. We hope both validate every wife's heart and encourage every husband to love their wife as Christ calls him to.








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, 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 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

Terrible Therapist?

I get the biggest kick out of some of the commercials out there and this one is no exception. Really...it's hilarious! At the same time, I can't help thinking of how much truth is in it. Former drill sergeant or not and all kidding aside, sometimes it's the kind of talk that's needed to get someone to look outside of themselves.

A Prince Among Men - Rule #1

I love how the topic of being a good husband has segued over from Christian ministry to mainstream reading. A couple of days ago, my mom and I were at an arts and crafts festival that we like to go to each year when I came across this book and new I had to pick it up. Being a fan of classic black and white movies, I was instantly drawn to the pictures and, of course, all of the "rules" are right on even if some are a bit on the campy side.




Read the rules guys! While they may read silly, there's definite truth here!

My Christlike Husband

Being married to a man who is truly walking out what Christ calls him to be as a Christian husband is an incredible experience. Not only do I feel deeply loved and safe, I get the privilege of watching him grow into the man God has called him to be!
