"Could I" by Kim McMechan

The following lyrics are from a praise song I learned when I had vocal lessons with Mrs. Neutz. She has sent me so much love and encouragement since starting this blog. I appreciate her and having her in my life has been such a blessing. She continues to remind me of God's grace, mercy, and infinite wisdom. Thank you so much Mrs. Neutz. You have made such a positive impact on my life. This song describes how helpless I feel at this moment. I love this song. It is so beautiful. It is a release. It is a giving up of the spirit to God to take control. It is a realization that we are not in control and that we need to let go.

Could I

Kim McMechan

VERSE 1:
Could I just sit here a while
Know that there’s nothing that I need to say
Safe in the knowledge that You know my ways
Love me completely no need to hide a thing
         
Could I just stay here a while
Letting You melt away all of my fears
I feel Your comfort when You are so near
I’ll hide myself in this shelter You’ve made for me

CHORUS:
Could I    (x2)

VERSE 2:
Could I just kneel here a while
Doing what I was created to do
Bowing in reverence I long to adore You
Willingly giving all that I can surrender

Could I just rest here a while
Letting You whisper my burdens away
In all of my journeys there’s no other place
Where I find refuge strength for my weary heart

I have been down so much lately. I have never been as depressed in my life as I have been lately. I keep trying to find something to be happy about or be relieved that I don't have to worry about. I know I'm not the only one having a hard time in this economy. It just makes me feel so awful because usually I am the first one to be positive or be able to envision the good in the future. Now I can't see beyond the nose on my face.

Could I,
