Nicole Nordeman - Small Enough lyrics

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
