This song was one that my friend shared with me when they were trying to get pregnant. It is indeed a mystery that our great God can be small enough to hear us, to know us, to be close to us... to make it possible for life to begin, to make it possible for new lungs, to make it possible for each of us to keep breathing each day... Giving thanks with you all today!
Oh, great God
Be small enough to hear me now
There were times when I was crying
From the dark of Daniel's den
And I had asked you once or twice
If you would part the sea again
Tonight I do not need a
Fiery pillar in the sky
Just want to know you're gonna
Hold me if I start to cry
Oh, great God
Be small enough to hear me now
Oh, great God
Be close enough to feel me now
(Oh great God be close to me)
There have been moments when I could not face
Goliath on my own
And how could I forget we marched
Around our share of Jericho's
But I will not be setting out
The fleece for you tonight
Just wanna know if everything will be alright
Oh, great God be close enough to feel me now
Oh, praise and all the honor be
To the God of ancient mysteries
Whose every sign and wonder
Turn the pages of our history
But tonight my heart is heavy
And I cannot keep from whispering, whispering
Are you there?
And I know you could leave writing
On the wall that's just for me
Or send wisdom while I'm sleeping
Like in Solomon's sweet dreams
I don't need the strength of Sampson
Or a chariot in the end
Just wanna know you still know how many
Hairs are on my head
Oh, great God
(Are you small enough)
Be small enough to hear
Me now
