Beautiful heartfelt  tender mercies! Lovely guitar! 🙂🎶❤️👏🙏

this is a gift-thank you -needed this one today. xo

that 3rd line in the verse melody is gorgeous and reminds me of some weepies tunes.

Lovely tune, James! I like the contrast between the laid back delivery and the struggle apparent from the lyrics.

I was interpreting this as a song about needing the support of a woman, until about hal way through. Sounding good, James.

The chorus melody and the interlude are both gorgeous.  Like Joshua, I also thought this was asking support from a woman or perhaps a friend until over halfway through the song.  Very pretty song.

A very subtle stall in delivery of the last word on the verse lines, just holds you in expectation for a millisecond. Lovely affecting blend of lyric and guitar playing.

Beautiful, meaningful, take on the prompt, James. Nicely done guitar interlude too.

This is such a tender melody, perfect for the lyrics.

"Meet Me Where I Am" (#500, 210906)

Somethin' strange about these feet of mine
There's some roads they just can't seem to find
My eyes see where the highway should be at
But I can't get half the places on this map

I set out early long before the dawn
Somehow the best directions steer me wrong
All that I can think to do is pray
That you would show the mercy of your name

Meet me where I am like you always do
Lead me by the hand please I'm beggin' you
Fix this broken man fill my heart again
I need you still meet me where I am

There's nothin' wrong at all with best laid plans
But I know who can do the things I can't
So when I'm stuck it's clear as any bell
It's time to hit my knees and ask for help
