Show Me The Way

Lyrics

[Intro] Mary, I don’t really know how to pray tonight. I’ve got too much in my head And not enough answers. So if you can hear me, Stay with me awhile. I think I’ve lost my way. [Verse 1] Mother Mary, I’ve been walking Like I know where I’m going, Making choices in the darkness, Never seeing what they’re costing. I’ve hurt people that I love, Let my pride speak before truth, And stood inside the wreckage Still pretending I knew what to do. There are promises behind me That I swore I meant to keep, There are people that I love Who I’ve somehow made weep. Tonight I’m out of answers, Too tired to pretend. Mother, if you’re listening, Help me find myself again. [Chorus] Mother Mary, walk beside me, I can’t see the road tonight. Turn my face toward your Son again, Lead me back into the light. When I’m angry, make me gentle. When I’m scared, don’t let me run. When my pride tells me I’m right, Show me what my hands have done. Ask Jesus not to leave me When I’m ashamed of who I’ve been. Mother Mary, pray beside me— Help me find my way to Him. [Verse 2] I don’t need another excuse, Lord, I’ve made enough of those. I need courage for the truth Even when the truth gets close. Show me who needs an apology, Show me what I need to change. Show me what is worth protecting And what I need to walk away from. Teach me not to chase forgiveness Just to quiet down my guilt. Teach me how to rebuild slowly What my choices may have killed. If love is more than saying it, Then teach me how love stays— When the room gets hard and heavy, When there’s nothing left to say. [Chorus] Mother Mary, walk beside me, I can’t see the road tonight. Turn my face toward your Son again, Lead me back into the light. When I’m angry, make me gentle. When I’m scared, don’t let me run. When my pride tells me I’m right, Show me what my hands have done. Ask Jesus not to leave me When I’m ashamed of who I’ve been. Mother Mary, pray beside me— Help me find my way to Him. [Verse 3] Bless the people I have wounded, Even wounds I cannot see. Give them peace I couldn’t give them, Even if that peace means leaving me. Guard the hearts that trusted mine. Keep them safe from what I’ve done. Don’t let my confusion be a weight They carry when I’m gone. If there’s still a road to healing, Make me humble enough to walk. Not with promises and speeches— With my choices, not my talk. Give me patience when I want answers. Give me silence when words harm. Give me strength enough to become Someone safe inside their arms. [Bridge] Hail Mary, full of grace, Stay near me tonight. When temptation sounds like comfort, Help me recognize the lie. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for this sinner here. Take the noise inside my head And make the voice of Jesus clear. Tell Him I am tired. Tell Him I am scared. Tell Him there are pieces of my heart I don’t know how to repair. Tell Him I still love deeply Even when I’ve loved things wrong. And if He hasn’t given up on me, Help me carry on. [Breakdown] Mary… Teach me courage. Teach me grace. Teach me how a man keeps choosing What is holy When it hurts to face. I don’t want the easiest road. I want the right one. Even if the right one Breaks me open first. [Final Chorus] Mother Mary, walk beside me, I still cannot see too far. Maybe faith is taking one more step When you don’t know where you are. Make me honest. Make me humble. Make me slower to condemn. Help me listen before speaking. Help me start repairing what I can. When I’m standing at a crossroads With the old me pulling hard, Put your hand upon my shoulder, Point me back toward God. Ask Jesus for His mercy. Ask Him for a heart made new. Mother Mary, stay beside me While I learn what I must do. [Outro] Blessed Mother… I’m not asking you To make everything easy. I’m not asking you To give me everything I want. I’m asking you To help me want what God wants. Protect the people I love. Give me courage To tell the truth. Humility To say I was wrong. Patience To repair what I can. Faith To surrender what I cannot control. Bring me to your Son. And when I lose the road again… Please, Mother— Come find me. Amen.
