small enough lyrics
I’ve recently found Nichole Nordeman’s music. I found Help Me Believe a while ago, and then proceeded to download a few more songs. The one I was listening to the lyrics is Small Enough. And I just had to put them here, even if it was a blessing to only me for searching for them.

Small Enough
by Nichole Nordeman
There were times when I was crying
From the dark of Daniel’s den
And I have asked you once or twice
If you would part the sea again
But tonight I do not need a fiery pillar in the sky
I just want to know you’re gonna hold me if I start to cry
Oh Great God, Be small enough to hear me now
There have been moments
When I could not face Goliath on my own
And how could forget we’ve marched
Around our share of Jerichos
But I will not be setting out
A fleece for you tonight
I just want to know that everything will be alright
Oh Great God, Be small enough to hear me now
All praise and all the honor be
To the God of ancient mysteries
Who’s every sign and wonder
Turned the pages of our history
But tonight my heart is heavy
And I can not keep from whispering this prayer
Are you there?
And I know you could leave writing
On the wall that’s just for me
Or send wisdom while I’m sleeping
Like in Solomon’s sweet dreams
But I don’t need the strength of Samson
Or a chariot in the end
I just want to know that you still know
How many hairs are on my head
Oh Great God, Be small enough to hear me now
beautiful. simply beautiful

girl, i love this song so so much. it’s my anthem...sometimes. you should check out other stuff by fernando ortega, the guy she does the duet with. he sings the amazing version of 'be thou my vision' that i think i put on your mix tape. if i didn’t, let me know, and i’ll put it on the next one
love you girl.

thank you soooo much for sharing that.
i am notoriously bad at discovering music on my own - but between you and mel, i have found some of the most wonderful, inspiring, beautiful music that i would have never listened to otherwise.

I heard Nichole Noderman about 3 years ago, and fell in love with her Mystery song, and recently I listened to "Small Enough" and it has really been a blessing to me. I struggle feeling that God is sometimes absent from my life. But this song really speaks the truth. And it’s a testament to the work we must do to be with God.

I just saw Nichole at the Women of Faith Conf. in Portland, Oregon - what a blessing, she truly spoke to our hearts
