Small Enough

August 21, 2003

There were times when I was crying
From the dark of Daniel’s den
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

There have been moments when I could not face
Goliath on my own
And how could I forget we marched
Around our share of Jerichos
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

this is one of my favorite of her songs. thanks for reminding me of the powerful words, which pointed me to an almighty God who is small enough to know my innermost need.

oh, wow. this song--and many others of hers--have spoken volumes to me. she is so gut-level honest with her songs and i really appreciate that. she's really doing a wonderful thing with "christian music." i count it a blessing to have known her personally many years ago. i remember when you and her would sing songs you wrote together in school. i'm glad she's still sharing her powerful ministry!
