Song by Ginny Owens
If You Want Me To
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why you brought me here
But just because you love me the way that you do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If you want me to
Cuz I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If you want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But you never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear you answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering your love put you through
And I will go through the valley
If you want me to
This is one of my favorite songs. I came across this about 1 month after my husband left us. It was an extremely hard time in my life...the hardest, and I was struggling to make it through the next 5 minutes let alone the day. For some reason I heard this song on the radio and it really made an impact on me, so I went on the hunt for the CD not even knowing who sang it. Somewhere I lost it in the last year and just bought a new one the other day so I could enjoy it again. Now that I have been reunited with it I just wanted to let you read the words because they mean so much to me. If I was smart as some of my computer Geek friends, (I won't name any names, because they know who they are) I would put it on here so you could hear it, but alas you might just have to ask me for the CD the next time you see me.

Hey girl,
I just am getting my blog going. Talk to you soon.
I misread the lyrics...I saw "leapfrog" through the fire. Either way, we come out relatively unscathed.
You're a credit to 1/2 the race girl!
It IS a beautiful song, I've heard it on the radio. I'm glad the song has helped you through such a crappy time in your life. You're doing so great!
It isn't country, is it?
Hee hee! Music has ways of hitting us, showing us our heart. I'm glad this song did that for you.
That is awesome W! It's even funny because I hadn't even read this post and last night I did my own post on a song that has greatly impacted my own life...
Music is powerful and gets us through alot of stuff....
