Take Me To My Lord

As usual, someone else has said it better...


Is it fair? Can I ask?
I need some help this once.
Life has treated me hard.
I fear I'm burden to everyone.

Take me to my Lord, O brothers of mine.
I know that my faith will heal me.
My legs won't carry me that far,
But you - with your love - I know you will. I know you will.

I have waited so long.
This man is more than a man.
If I'm seen in the flesh, such tears of joy will be my thanks to you.

Take me to my Lord, O sisters of mine.
I know that my faith will heal me.
My legs won't carry me that far,
But you - with your love -I know you will. I know you will.
Bring me there.
My own legs will carry me home.
Bring me there, bring me there.
My own legs will carry me home.
I know they will.

Is it fair? Can I ask?
I need some help this once.
I have faith in my Lord, and also I have faith in you, my friends.

Take me to my Lord, O brothers of mine.
I know that my faith will heal me.
My legs won't carry me that far
But you - with your love - I know you will.
Take me to my Lord, O sisters of mine.
I know that my faith will heal me.
My legs won't carry me that far
But you - with your love - I know you will.
I know you will. -Stephen Iverson


OK, so here's the deal. Most of you know that I've been struggling for the last 10 months, and at this point, I'm feeling pretty beat up and alone. Most of this is due to the voices (don't worry, they're real people) in my life for the majority of this time. The problem is that I can't seem to find Jesus or the voice of truth in the chaos that is my life. I've tried all the things that I know to do - all the things that have worked for me in the past - to no avail. So I'm hoping that some of you will be willing to "listen" and, through your wisdom and prayers, to help me find that precious voice again.


It's going to take time. Some of you haven't know me long/well enough to know the history and the reasons for getting to this point, so I'll have to do some backtracking to fill that in. I apologize ahead of time to those who already know those stories, and I give you permission to skip over them. My hope is that, in the sharing of where I've been and where I am, I'll find some clarity, and that you (meaning those who choose to accept this mission) will be able to speak truth, challenge and love into my life at a time when there aren't too many voices doing that for me.


So, I'm only posting this link as a broad invitation. For those who are willing to "take me to my Lord," please let me know. Once I know who's on this journey with me, I'll send those people a facebook group message or email (depending on where you are technology-wise) so that everyone can see the postings, contribute and see where this leads me.


And Stephen, whether you participate in this discussion or not, thanks for being a part of the journey through your music. It's been one of the few voices of truth that I've had over the last few months.
