Yesterday, I was thinking about the idea of praying for others, about intercession, and Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Carry You to Jesus" came to mind:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will not pretend to feel the pain you're going through
I know I cannot comprehend the hurt you've known
And I used to think it mattered if I understood
But now I just don't know
Well I'll admit sometimes I still wish I knew what to say
And I keep looking for a way to fix it all
But we know we're at the mercy of God's higher ways
And our ways are so small
But I will carry you to Jesus
He is everything you need
I will carry you to Jesus on my knees
It's such a privilege for me to give this gift to you
All I'd ever hope you'd give me in return
Is to know that you'll be there to do the same for me
When the tables turn
And if you need to cry go on and I, I will cry along with you, yeah
I'll give you what I have but still I know the best thing I can do
Is just pray for you
I'll carry you
I'll take you to Jesus on my knees
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The song is one of the least 'catchy' and more reflective on his album Declaration. Some experiences two friends were (and are) going through recently, reminded me of it.
