"The 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
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.
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.
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.
Oh MY!!!! I so agree with this I love singing don´t knw if i´m good at it doesn´t 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
There’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
He’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
I’ve found a Friend
In all I’m reaching
Who’s not out of touch with Reality
He was a Man, Treated bad like me
So I won’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)
I’m so Glad he understands
(He Understands)
He’s my Friend and He Understands
(He Understands)
I don’t have to worry
I don’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..❤❤❤❤❤
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 back😭
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!
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:
“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”
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 – 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 side❣️
❤️🔥 Because He is everything I want – Everything I desire – He is the reason for my living ❤️🔥
Thanks for share, dearest Yvonne!
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
Muy hermosa la alabanza, si tiene el link en español la letra seria super escucharla en mi idioma.
Hace unos 6 años yo compartí esta sin saber que alguien me la hiba a sugerir y fue una de las muchas que me fortaleció en este viaje, porque he sentido que en cada etapa Dios me ha dado un canto para alabarlo
Te Seguiré de yashira Gidini
Canto una alabanza sin igual
Pues el desierto me ha enseñado tu fidelidad
He visto muy de cerca mi fragilidad
Tomando forma en tu abrazo y en tu sanidad
Me llevas lejos
Más allá de lo que nunca imaginé
En mi desierto
Te encontré
Si tu diestra me ha traído hasta aquí
No puedo callar, no puedo callar
Si tu mano hasta aquí me ayudo
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atras
Canto una alabanza sin igual
Pues el desierto me ha enseñado tu fidelidad
He visto muy de cerca mi fragilidad (tomando forma)
Tomando forma en tu abrazo y en tu sanidad (me llevas lejos)
Me llevas lejos
Mas allá de lo que nunca imaginé (oh dile en mi desierto te encontré)
En mi desierto
Te encontré
Si tu diestra me ha traído hasta aquí
No puedo callar, no puedo callar
Si tu mano hasta aquí me ayudo
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atrás
Camino a la luz de tu amor
Tuyo soy
Tu sangre me limpió y me compró
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atrás
Si tu diestra me ha traído hasta aquí
No puedo callar, no puedo callar
Si tu mano hasta aquí me ayudo
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atrás
He decidido seguir a Cristo
He decidido seguir a Cristo
He decidido seguir a Cristo
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atrás (la cruz está ante mí)
La cruz está ante mí, el mundo atrás quedó
La cruz está ante mí, el mundo atrás quedó
La cruz está ante mí, el mundo atrás quedó
No vuelvo atrás, no vuelvo atrás
No volveremos atrás
Te escogemos a ti Señor
Yo te seguiré
Si tu diestra me ha traído hasta aquí
No puedo callar, no puedo callar
Si tu mano hasta aquí me ayudo
No vuelvo atras, no vuelvo atrás
Te seguiré, te seguiré
Doquiera Tú me guíes, Señor
Te seguiré
Amén
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
I sing unparalleled praise
Well the desert has taught me your faithfulness
I have seen my fragility very closely
Taking shape in your embrace and in your healing
you take me away
Beyond what I ever imagined
in my desert
I found you
If your right hand has brought me here
I can’t shut up, I can’t shut up
If your hand helped me up to here
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
I sing unparalleled praise
Well the desert has taught me your faithfulness
I have seen my fragility very closely (taking shape)
Taking shape in your embrace and in your healing (you take me away)
you take me away
Beyond what I ever imagined (oh tell him in my desert I found you)
in my desert
I found you
If your right hand has brought me here
I can’t shut up, I can’t shut up
If your hand helped me up to here
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
I walk in the light of your love
I’m yours
Your blood cleansed me and bought me
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
If your right hand has brought me here
I can’t shut up, I can’t shut up
If your hand helped me up to here
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
I have decided to follow Christ
I have decided to follow Christ
I have decided to follow Christ
I don’t go back, I don’t go back (the cross is before me)
The cross is before me, the world is left behind
The cross is before me, the world is left behind
The cross is before me, the world is left behind
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
We won’t go back
We choose you Lord
I will follow you
If your right hand has brought me here
I can’t shut up, I can’t shut up
If your hand helped me up to here
I’m not going back, I’m not going back
I will follow you, I will follow you
Wherever You guide me, Lord
I will follow you
Amen

This one has the Spanish Lyrics in the video.
Enjoy. Thank you for sharing your lyrics as well. So beautiful. 💖
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.
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.

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
