Small Enough

Hey guys,

I don't know if anyone still reads this, but I pray that this song will find the small and humble child within you, and strike a chord somewhere. It really met me this week when I was feeling so weak and helpless. We don't like to admit how desperately fragile we are sometimes when we're hiding behind our intellectualism and our pride. But this week as I really came down to it, I just want God to meet me at my moment of need- and He does. How great is our God, that He didn't mind not being big, if only to be small enough for me to see Him. Enjoy Nicole Nordeman's Small Enough- it's a truly wonderful song, and a truly wonderful songwriter/singer.


Oh great God
Be small enough
To hear me now
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 you now
(Oh great god be close to me)
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
A fleece for you tonight
Just wanna know that everything will be alright
Oh great god be close enough to feel me now

All 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 this prayer
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
But I don’t need the strength of Sampson
Or a chariot in the end
Just wanna know that you still know how many
Hairs are on my head
Oh great God (Are you small enough)
Be small enough to hear
Me now
