We all need a hero

A few weeks ago I sent out a blog called “Do you really want to find
yourself?” I hope it was a blessing to you and for those who never read it,
you can find it below (scroll down past the song). This week I was listening
to a CD by Christian artist Chris Rice and was reminded of one of my
favorite songs by him called, “I need a hero.” ). It is a great song about
somebody who comes to a deeper awareness about their weaknesses, limitations
and sin and reaches out to Jesus in faith. As I was listening I thought to
myself, “What a nice compliment these lyrics are to that blog I sent out
called, “Do you really want to find yourself?’. 

So……here are the lyrics for you to enjoy. I hope they bless you as they

have blessed me for decades.

“I need a hero” by Chris Rice

Was I the only one to notice
That human nature doesn’t work that way?
They tell me if I look deep inside me

That I can find my own way

I only find a rebel and a fool there
Who won’t admit that he’s afraid
I thought I was holdin’ on to freedom

But locked my soul up in chains

I need a hero
Who’ll dare to find me
Fly to my rescue

And crash through the wall

Announce my freedom
Bring me to my senses
Gather me into His strong arms

And carry me off to safety

What is this talk about a Savior
Does He listen, is He even there?
And should I be asking Him directly?

But why should He consider my prayer?

Well, I don’t quite know how to do this
But Jesus, I can’t save myself
So here I go calling our for mercy
And crying out for Your help

So if You hear me

I need a hero
Please dare to find me
Fly to my rescue

And crash through the wall

Announce my freedom
Bring me to my senses
Gather me into Your strong arms

And carry me off

For Him
