+Again and again+

I heard this song in my car the other day ("With a smile like that" by Jon Troast)and I think it could very well be a song from us to God. If we look at it like that, it personifies God quite a bit, but sometimes, I don't think there's too much wrong with that... especially when it's of this nature... The end of the song is what really grabbed me... Think about it yourself too...

.

I got a feelin

You light up a lot of rooms

with a smile like that

yours is a welcome face

so good to see you here

I was feelin alone

you're the city on the hill

you're a lighthouse in a storm

leading me to the shore

I crossed an empty sea

got lost in a crowded street

then I find you here

Nobody told me where

It's like it was meant to be

I don't know what that means

you are a destinations door

you're my favorite place to go

you always feel like home.

If I lose my way again and again

If I lose my way again and again

If I lose my way again and again and again

Would you guide me home again and again

Would you guide me home again and again

Would you guide me home again and again and again

Cause I'd come back to you again and again

I'd come back to you again and again

I'd come back to you again and again... again and again and again

.

If I lose my way, would you guide me home? I'd come back to you.

.

I know I've lost my way again and again and I typically try to rely on myself to find my way back... to... wherever I was. Next time I lose my way, God needs to be my guide home...

.

Well also you know, I think for our purposes, it would be better if the lyrics went in this order... "If I lose my way, I'd come back to you... would you guide me home?"

.

It's a plea. God, I've lost my way and I don't know what to do... But I realize I need to rely on you... guide me home?

.

It's not about having God guide us home and then saying well thanks, I suppose I can rely on you again... No, it's about realizing our need for God and then having God guide us back to wherever we came.

.

Have you lost your way?

Who are you relying on to return you home?
