This song just came on the radio. I should listen to this on a regular basis. This song is full of passion. I can relate to it 100%. Dennis DeYoung kind of cooked his goose with this song – it pushed the other members of the group over the edge thinking he was taking them from screaming guitars into a gospel band. The dissenting guitarist had already left the group in disgust and did not get the windfall of that last hit.
Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there’s a heaven
And every day I’m more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I’ve lost my faithShow me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the wayAnd as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there’s peace in a world so filled with hatred
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we’ve so far to go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won’t knowShow me the way, Show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain
And take my confusion awayAnd if I feel light, should I believe
Tell me how will I knowShow me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river
And wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength and the courage
To believe that I’ll get there someday
Show me the wayEvery night I say a prayer
In the hope that there’s a heavenShow Me The Way lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal
As part of the Days of Awe, prayer and fasting are a key component. This starts tomorrow.
Days of Awe
September 13th 2015 also begins what is known as the “Days of Awe” or “Yamim Noraim”. The Days of Awe sometimes are also referred to as the “Days of Repentance”. The Days of Awe continue for 10 days for the purpose of providing an opportunity to repent before the next high holiday of “Yom Kippur” or “Day of Atonement” occurs on the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur occurs on September 22nd through 23rd in the year 2015, 10 days after September 13th. Yom Kippur is the day of deliverance and salvation!
According to Jewish traditions, God has books in which He inscribes the names of those who will live and who will die…speaking of eternal life and eternal death. The book can be altered during the Days of Awe through repentance but they become sealed on Yom Kippur. The Sabbath or Shabbat, which occurs during these Days of Awe, is known as “the Sabbath of the Return“.
My plan is to fast for three days and begin to pray a new prayer – or in a new way. As Nephi taught us to do. I have not utilized prayer to its full potential because I may have been missing something – a key of knowledge that is not taught in Sunday school with the SMAs. I will be praying for a cleansing, of sorts, in preparation for asking for a special blessing. At the very least, it is a good time to pray for understanding during the next conference. Maybe for protections from those things that surely will come upon a wicked and fallen world.
Lord, please show me the way! I am a lost, sinner and need your divine spark in my life:

I will try and get the time to do a post tomorrow on the basics of prayer and to lead to greater things. To quote a pal, there is great power in calling on the name of the Lord. I will share the experience this person had that led them to a sought after blessing. Remember that our blessings come from God to bless our whole family. Getting to God’s presence is an individual quest – but exaltation occurs as a couple/family unit. We have been placed in our units to bring the whole to the culmination point. Some less nimbly, as others.
