"God Gave Me You" holds a special place in my heart. This past Thursday, June 1, marked one year since Mr. M and I came to our senses and reconciled. If you read my post, From The Pit to The Palace, from back in January, you'll know what I'm talking about. The lyrics to this song remind me of where our marriage was, where it came from, and where it's going. Every time I hear today's tune, I reminisce; I get a little emotional; and I thank God that Mr. M and I are still married, still working on things, and still loving each other.
God Gave Me You
by Dave Barnes
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
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you.
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God 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
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.
For when I think I've 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 it without you.
We are stitched together, and what love has tethered,
I could never undo.
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt.
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you.
