Day 247: God gave me you

You all know that every once in a while I share some lyrics that have, in some way, hit me on that day or that week. Well, the song that hit me today is yet another country song. It is pretty well known song now and has become a hit love song. It is called "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton. As I was driving around today, running more errands, I heard this song and got a little wistful. It made me think of Ian and of how lucky I am that he is the one God thought me worthy of loving. I am so blessed that God gave me Ian to spend the rest of my life with. No matter how far apart we are and no matter how long the separation, we are still together. We are still a team and will return to each other and continue on this path God has set for us, as a family.

The song has some great verses, some don't apply in a way, but the chorus is dead on. The last verse is about as true as it gets for me. So, here it is... The lyrics to "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton. If you have never heard it, look it up on YouTube. It is a great song.

"God Gave Me You"

I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you

There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you.
