I Look to You

I Look To You

I love this song.  I've probably heard it 1,000 times over the last week.  I fell in love with it on Glee. Then when Whitney Houston died last week, they have played it over and over.  R. Kelly wrote this song for her.  Yesterday he sang it at her funeral.

Truly beautiful.

When I started this blog, it was just an experiment.  I used to write a lot.  I've even published a few articles in regards to the Ministry I feel the Lord is leading me.  I guess I have had a "writer's block".  

So, I turn to music to help me out...  I used to write the music too.  I have not even played the piano or guitar in several years.  It's not that I don't have the thoughts, but I'm having trouble with the words.  God knows what is in my heart...

The last few years have been challenging to say the least.  My health problems, being on a feeding tube for over 4 years now.  Port-a-cath's. CT Scans, Blood clots and a mass in my left lung, now with acute renal failure.  Blood thinner shots daily in my abdomen... too much one week, not enough the next.  So, it's scary.  I don't get over one thing before I get something else.  

So, right now I lay it at Jesus' feet.  I can do that... but most of the time I take it back.  I guess a game of  "tug of war."

Let the words to this song speak to you...

As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I'm lost without a cause

After giving it my all

Winter storms have come

And darkened my sun

After all that I've been through

Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you

I look to you

After all my strength is gone

In you I can be strong

I look to you

I look to you

And when melodies are gone


In you I hear a song


I look to you




About to lose my breath


There's no more fighting left


Sinking to rise no more


Searching for that open door




And every road that I've taken


Led to my regret


And I don't know if I'm gonna make it


Nothing to do but lift my head






I look to you


I look to you


After all my strength is gone


In you I can be strong


I look to you


I look to you


And when melodies are gone


In you I hear a song


I look to you




My levees are broken


My walls are coming down on me


My rain is falling


Defeat is calling


I need you to set me free


Take me far away from the battle


I need you to


Shine on me!


I look to you


I look to you


After all my strength is gone


In you I can be strong


I look to you


I look to you


And when melodies are gone


In you I hear a song


I look to you


I look to you
