I've had this song in my mind and heart for the last little while and last night when I went to the temple.
since I don't know how to upload mp3 files to blogger you can listen to it here. It's called Small Enough.
the lyrics are below.
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 HAVE ASKED YOU ONCE OR TWICE IF YOU WOULD PART THE SEA AGAIN BUT TONIGHT I DO NOT NEED A FIERY PILLAR IN THE SKY JUST WANNA 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 YOU NOW THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS WHEN I COULD NOT FACE GOLIATH ON MY OWN AND HOW COULD I FORGET WE'VE MARCHED AROUND OUR SHARE OF JERICHOS BUT I WILL NOT BE SETTING OUT A FLEECE FOR YOU TONIGHT JUST WANNA KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT OH GREAT GOD, BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO FEEL YOU NOW ALL PRAISE AND ALL 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 THIS PRAYER "ARE YOU THERE?" AND I KNOW YOU COULD LEAVE WRITING ON THE WALL THATS JUST FOR ME OR SEND WISDOM WHILE I'M SLEEPING, LIKE IN SOLOMAN'S SWEET DREAMS BUT I DON'T NEED THE STRENGTH OF SAMSON OR A CHARIOT IN THE END JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU STILL KNOW HOW MANY HAIRS ARE ON MY HEAD OH GREAT GOD, BE SMALL ENOUGH TO HEAR ME NOW

I LOVE this song...I randomly had it on my Ipod (not even sure how it got there) and listened to it for the first time in Feb. It just brought tears to my eyes because it was so what I needed to hear at the moment.
Wow - what a great song! I've never heard it before, but it is very touching! We all need to hear that message, I think! Thanks for sharing it, Kristen!
