Give me a revelation

Lately I have felt a bit lost. I haven’t had anything that I felt like I should write about. I get up and go to work, come home, and before I know it, weeks have passed. I have had hopes that I had crushed, and I have found that I have come to a place where I have become very bitter and upset. Tonight, as I was working on the sermon I will be preaching at Highland Baptist Church in Metairie, LA, I could not stop thinking of this song by Third Day, “Revelation”. That song has come to have great meaning for me lately amidst the confusion of my life. So, I wanted to share the lyrics with you below:

My life has led me down the road that’s so uncertain
Now I am left alone and I am broken
Trying to find my way
Trying to find the faith that’s gone

This time I know that you are holding all the answers
I’m tired of losing hope and taking chances
On roads that never seem
To be the ones that bring me home

Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
‘Cause I’ve been trying to find my way
I haven’t got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I’ve got nothing without you
I’ve got nothing without you

My life has led me down this path that’s ever winding
Through every twist and turn, I’m always finding
That I am lost again
Tell me when this road will ever end

I don’t know where I can turn
Tell me, when will I learn
Won’t you show me where I need to go
Let me follow your lead
I know that it’s the only way that I can get back home
