Story behind the song
This was an instrumental I wrote for Sam to bring him up on his shows.
It was inspired by his faith and christian beliefs which brought me back to my own faith.
Sam then penned the lyrics to it in Helsinki, they reflected exactly the sentiment of the tune which i had never discussed with him, consequently
several famous artists expressed interest in recording it with sam on the "Give Us Your Poor" project from Natalie Merchant. Jon was the first choice
Lyrics
I've been searching far and wide trying to find your smiling face
I've been looking high and low trying to find your loving grace
I've been calling out your name Lord save me from my shame.
Show me the way my sweet Jesus ,show me the way, show me the way
Well I heard about your name when I was just a little child
well I grew up now but I got lost along the way.
now I'm ready to come back home oh please lord let me come back home
show me the way my sweet Jesus show me the way, show me the way.
Whoa i cant do it all by myself lord now now show me, show me, show me
show me, show me, why don't you show me I'll come runnin' back home.
Well you don't miss you water till your water well runs dry.
I have found myself all alone and all I can do is cry
now I'm sorry , oh so sorry please forgive me for my wrongs
show me the way my sweet jesus show me the way, show me the way
