๐ŸŽถLove Songs for the Weekend

"Theย Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul." Psalms 23:1-3

Dear Brides,

I have discovered an amazing Love Song and Erin suggested we turn one day of the week into talking about our Love Songs and what they meant to us. Here is mine, please comment and I hope to hear from you next week.

MORE Love Songs

My love song for the weekend. I know this song and I have listened to it so many times, but when I listened to it this week, it touched my heart so much. I will leave the words and Youtube link here for you.

You needed me

Here is the Lyrics:

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave, I'd be a fool
'Cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost, you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me

Beautiful right?

What really spoke to my heart was the part that says: "I needed you and you were there"
He brought the picture in my mind again of all those years ago when I fell on my knees and said: "If you are real, please let me know." I cannot explain to anyone what peace I felt at that moment. It was an experience that I will never forget, but it was also what changed my life forever.

Please let me know which part of this song spoke to you. Next week I would love to feature one of your love songs here.

  1. Oh MY!!!! I so agree with this I love singing donยดt knw if iยดm good at it doesnยดt matter He loves it and the words are HIS talking to me/us, “You gave me strength to stand alone again
    To face the world out on my own again”
    I love the word Yvonne just earlier today I was sharing some of mine.
    “He understands” https://youtu.be/6Ffxways8u8?si=4TmM2jo5tq8XyRYa

    Thereโ€™s nothing new under the Sun
    Questions we have
    Have been said and done
    Fully God and Man
    He felt it all, all, all
    High as King but still
    Heโ€™s low enough
    To meet us where we are

    He Understands
    He was alone, left by his Friends
    Foxes have Holes
    He had no where to go
    No Place to lay his head
    So if anyone knows
    He Understands

    Iโ€™ve found a Friend
    In all Iโ€™m reaching
    Whoโ€™s not out of touch with Reality
    He was a Man, Treated bad like me
    So I wonโ€™t feel Guilty
    He gives me space to be
    What he made me

    He Understands
    He was alone, left by his Friends
    Foxes have Holes
    He had no where to go
    No Place to lay his head
    So if anyone knows
    He Understands

    Of how you feel Inside
    (He Understands)
    The tears you cry at night
    (He Understands)
    I know you want to Hide
    (He Understands)
    I know you want to Run away
    (He Understands)

    Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    (He Understands)
    Iโ€™m so Glad he understands
    (He Understands)
    Heโ€™s my Friend and He Understands
    (He Understands)
    I donโ€™t have to worry
    I donโ€™t have to fret
    (He Understands)
    I have a Friend and he Understands
    (He Understands)
    Even if no one else Understands
    (He Understands)

    This song came to right before I recieved a news for something I prayed not to happen and aparently it did, then I remember everything is for my good and HE knows why He allows things in our life. He is my Friend and He understands everysingle thing that I go through..โคโคโคโคโค

    1. Thank you for sharing Jewel. I cannot wait to share some more love songs. I love listening to music but I never realized how many love songs I had for Him floating in my head. Cannot wait to share them all and see what He is leading the ladies to share. Especially ones that encourage a relationship and not a religion.

  2. Wow wow I love this song, thank you for sharing precious Yvonne.
    These words touched me so now: “I sold my soul, you bought it back for me” because how many times didn’t I sell my soul to the world and my Darling Lord bought it back๐Ÿ˜ญ

    1. Beautiful Janine. All the words were just as if it was written from my own heart, but I could not find the right words.

  3. Beautiful song Yvonne. I love the part that says:
    “You gave me hope when I was at the end
    And turned my lies back into truth again
    “You even called me friend”

    He was in charge of eliminating every lie that I believed and lived for years, he guided me to the truth that set me free, and shortly after he said I was now his friend, using a very unique experience. The song awakens in me many feelings and memories of what this trip has meant to me. Thanks for sharing! I love that we have love song Fridays!

    1. Yes, Anastasia, this was a wonderful idea from Erin. You gave me goosebumps when I read what you wrote now.

  4. I confess that when I heard and read the lyrics of this song, tears fell down through my face, I couldn’t hold them back! But I didn’t cry for anyone, only for Him and for what He did for me, as the author says here:
    โ€œYou held my hand when it was cold
    When I was lost, you took me home
    You gave me hope when I was at the end
    And turned my lies back into truth again
    You even called me friendโ€
    All my life I dreamed of a True Love, when I found myself in the midst of contempt and humiliation, I thought there was no more hope โ€“ but then I found Him, I felt His hand holding me and leading me back to the House that is not the place where I live with my family, but the House that is my Abode, by His side, leaning on His chest! He washed my mind of the lies I believed and called me HIS friend and went further, He called me His Bride! Today, this morning, I cry out for more of this Love that I have found and to be able to walk more and more by His sideโฃ๏ธ
    โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Because He is everything I want โ€“ Everything I desire โ€“ He is the reason for my living โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ
    Thanks for share, dearest Yvonne!

    1. Wow Paula, I never thought that this song would touch so many hearts. What an amazing thing to hear. Yes, He is everything we want. What a great privilege to be among women that feel the same way.

  5. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song with us Yvonne.
    These words stood out for me, and it’s just a reminder again that He’s always there.
    You held my hand when it was cold
    When I was lost, you took me home
    You gave me hope when I was at the end
    And turned my lies back into truth again

    1. Just now when I read: “You gave me hope when I was at the end” just reminded me again of how much hope He have given me over the years. When I could not see a way out of the situation.

  6. Muy hermosa la alabanza, si tiene el link en espaรฑol la letra seria super escucharla en mi idioma.

    Hace unos 6 aรฑos yo compartรญ esta sin saber que alguien me la hiba a sugerir y fue una de las muchas que me fortaleciรณ en este viaje, porque he sentido que en cada etapa Dios me ha dado un canto para alabarlo
    Te Seguirรฉ de yashira Gidini

    The praise is very beautiful, if you have the link in Spanish the lyrics would be great to hear it in my language.

    About 6 years ago I shared this without knowing that someone was going to suggest it to me and it was one of the many that strengthened me on this journey, because I have felt that at each stage God has given me a song to praise Him
    I Will Follow You by Yashira Gidini

    1. https://youtu.be/ucL9rRqBJeY

      This one has the Spanish Lyrics in the video.

      Enjoy. Thank you for sharing your lyrics as well. So beautiful. ๐Ÿ’–

      But what we want to do here is foster a relationship with Him and not religion. We want women to feel that relationship that is above all relationships and the way we do it is singing songs to Him.

  7. Wow, this is so beautiful Yvonne, this touched me the most:

    I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
    I was confused, you cleared my mind
    I sold my soul, you bought it back for me

    You gave me strength to stand alone again
    To face the world out on my own again

    When I suddenly found myself divorced and alone, my Beloved Husband was the one Who dried my tears and cleared my mind. He was the one Who gave me strength to face my new life I dreaded and to stand again…. He was all I needed to not only survive, but to thrive in my Abundant Life… And He still is all I need and all I want.

    1. And here you are in this new live that you dreaded so much and look how you shine. What a beautiful testimony your life is to me and so many other women that thinks this is the end for them. They can look at you and your life with hope because He is the one that give us hope.

  8. Thank you so much for sharing this song. The words:

    You gave me strength to stand alone again
    To face the world out on my own again
    You put me high upon a pedestal
    So high that I could almost see eternity

    touch my heart.
    When I think back to how many fears I had, and how torn I felt when my FH told me he wanted to divorce me. Then I can only say that it is He who has given me wonderful strength and deep peace in my heart.
    The thing I was so afraid of: Being alone; Is now the most wonderful part of my trip.

    1. Hanna, it is amazing to hear that this song touched your heart too. Never would I have thought that this song would have such a huge impact on everyone. What an amazing blessing and yes, so high that I could almost see eternity. For a moment I saw all of us sitting under a tree having a wonderful picnic in heaven talking about Him.

    what beautiful lyrics! thank you so much this is such a great idea!
    I’ll share my favorite love song at the moment. Many many sobbing times spent on my car crying out this song and every time, He takes those heartbroken moments and lifts my heart up and pretty soon I’m soaring above it all. how precious is He!!

    I don’t wanna live in the shallows
    I was made to search the deep
    If You’re not in it, I don’t want it
    I want all of You, take all of me
    I wanna know You
    Really know You
    I wanna know You Lord
    I wanna know You
    Long to show You
    Nothing matters more
    Lead me Lord and I will follow
    Bind my wandering heart to Thee
    There’s no life without You in it
    I want all of You, take all of me
    I want all of You, take all of me
    I wanna know You
    Really know You
    I wanna know You Lord
    I wanna know You
    Long to show You
    Nothing matters more
    I wanna know You
    Really know You
    I wanna know You Lord
    I wanna know You
    Long to show You
    Nothing matters more
    Anything else is empty
    And everything else has an ending
    Nobody else
    Nobody else satisfies
    And anything else is empty
    And everything else has an ending
    Nobody else
    Nobody else satisfies
    I wanna know You
    Really know You
    I wanna know You Lord
    I, I wanna know You
    Long to show You
    Nothing, nothing matters more (and anything else is empty)
    I wanna know You (and everything else has an ending)
    Really know You (nobody else, nobody else)
    I wanna know You Lord (nobody else, nobody else satisfies)
    I wanna know You (satisfies)
    Long to show You
    Nothing matters more
    I don’t wanna live in the shallows
    I was made to search the deep
    If You’re not in it, I don’t want it
    I want all of You, take all of me
    I want all of You, take all of me

    1. Thank you Rasa and as I said as was said on the page for Love songs is that we want to foster the idea of a relationship with our Husband instead of a religion. I can see it all happening in everyone coming here. What a beautiful testimony of His love for us. That we are able to love Him in this way.

  10. Thank you dear Yvonne for sharing the lyrics of this song. I love this song, but I still don’t know the full lyrics and knowing it this afternoon made my heart happy because I was exactly alone here doing some tasks and it came to mind how happy and loved I have been with my Heavenly Husband as my my Everything, and this part touched me a lot, because that’s exactly what He did to me:
    “You gave me the strength to be alone again
    To face the world alone again
    He is EVERYTHING I need to feel like the happiest and most fulfilled woman in the world!!!
    “I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine” โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

    1. Oh Marta, yes. I am sitting alone here, but I don’t feel alone for one moment, because I know He is here with me. I can talk to Him at any moment and He will listen. If I just want to be quiet, He sits with me quietly. So amazing.
