Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Love Without End, Amen
George Strait
I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye
Fightin’ was against the rules
And it didn’t matter why
When dad got home I told that story
Just like I’d rehearsed
And then stood there on those tremblin’ knees
And waited for the worst
And he said
Let me tell you a secret
About a father’s love
A secret that my daddy said
Was just between us
He said
Daddies don’t just love their children
Every now and then
It’s a love without end
Amen
It’s a love without end
Amen
When I became a father
In the spring of ‘81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy
Was just like my father’s son
And when I thought my patience
Had been tested to the end
I took my daddy’s secret
And I passed it on to him
I said
Let me tell you a secret
About a father’s love
A secret that my daddy said
Was just between us
He said
Daddies don’t just love their children
Every now and then
It’s a love without end
Amen
It’s a love without end
Amen
Last night I dreamed I died
And stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized
There must be some mistake
If they know half the things I’ve done
They’ll never let me in
And then somewhere from the other side
I heard these words again
And they said
Let me tell you a secret
About a Father’s love
A secret that my Daddy said
Was just between us
See
Daddies don’t just love their children
Every now and then
It’s a love without end
Amen
It’s a love without end
Amen

I Saw God Today
George Strait
Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
Had to take a break
I’d been by her side for 18 hours straight
Saw a flower growin’ in the middle of the sidewalk
Pushin’ up through the concrete
Like it was planted right there for me to see
The flashin’ lights
The honkin’ horns
All seemed to fade away
In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today
I’ve been to church
I’ve read the book
I know He’s here
But I don’t look
Near as often as I should
Yeah
I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today
Saw a couple walkin’ by
They were holdin’ hands
Man she had that glow
Yeah
I couldn’t help but notice
She was startin’ to show it
Stood there for a minute
Takin’ in the sky
Lost in that sunset
Splash of amber melted in the shades of red
I’ve been to church
I’ve read the book
I know He’s here
But I don’t look
Near as often as I should
Yeah
I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today
Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She’s sleepin’ like a rock
My name on her wrist
Wearin’ tiny pink socks
She’s got my nose
She’s got her mama’s eyes
My brand new baby girl
She’s a miracle
I saw God today

Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Dorothy!!! I'm glad you liked the songs. I have to be reminded far too often that "Love Without End, Amen" is a George Strait song--not a Randy Travis one. By the way, I hope you will pay a visit to http://fishhawkdroppings.blogspot.com/ I think you might find at least some of it interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love George Straight, easy to listen to, to sing along with and his words are always fitting. It's love to the end Amen, a real favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting,
Sandy
I know the first song... the second one I haven't heard before it looks sweet... thank you for sharing these. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't ever seen the movie, "Pure Country," you are in for a treat as a George Strait fan. His acting is not as good as his singing, but the movie is still great. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandy!!!
ReplyDeleteSince I don't listen to all that music over the radio anymore, I had never heard of "I Saw God Today" until I went to get two songs for this post. I absolutely love the lyrics, but overall, it is not one of my favorite George Strait songs. In fact, I was planning on using, "I Cross My Heart," which is the song featured at the end of "Pure Country" until I saw "I Saw God Today." Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Annie!!!
