I Wish I Could Keep You From Pain...Fear...Doubt

Saw this today on a post at Bad Catholic. I thought the song was beautiful and the lyrics just piercingly poetic!

I relate to their words as a parent - wanting to protect, guide and love my children.

I wish that I could keep you from pain

But like a storm, pain will form

But I’ll teach you how to face it

To be weak, yet strong in grace

I wish that I could keep you from fear

But like the night, fear will rise

So I’ll hold till love suffices

To drive far the dark devices and behold

A world that’s full of wonder

Full of laughter, full of life

A world that pulls you under

With the turning of the tide

In everything you do a choice of life or death to choose

And we will try to show you love

I wish that I could keep you from doubt

But like the waves, doubt will rage

So I’ll sail with you through troubled seas

Until we find a gentler breeze and behold

A world so full of wonder

Full of laughter, full of life

A world that pulls you under

With the turning of the tide

In everything you do a choice of life or death to choose

And we will try to show you love

And behold

A world so full of wonder

Full of laughter, full of life

A world torn asunder

Aching for new light

In everything you do a choice of life or death to choose

And we will try to show you love

We will try to show you love
