Secular Love Song to the Lord!!

Have you ever listened to this song as a love song to the Lord? It is my favorite. The recording artist is Lee Ann Rimes. She sang this song at the 2007 country Music awards and was sick with a rare throat virus. However she was required by CMA to perform. She sang it beautifully but you can hear her voice crack a couple of times. However, the power of her vocals is phenomenal.

It shows parts of the music video in the background. If you look closely at the background video you will see a light moving around her. At the end of the video there is so much light that it looks as if she is swallowed in it. What a beautiful picture of the light of God which swarms around us and swallows us when we sing to Him, praise Him and express our desperate need for Him. Here are the lyrics.

I DON'T NEED A LOT OF THINGS
I CAN GET BY WITH NOTHING
OF ALL THE BLESSINGS LIFE CAN BRING
I'VE ALWAYS NEEDED SOMETHING
BUT I'VE GOT ALL I WANT
WHEN IT COMES TO LOVING YOU
YOU'RE MY ONLY REASON
YOU'RE MY ONLY TRUTH.

I NEED YOU LIKE WATER
LIKE BREATH, LIKE RAIN
I NEED YOU LIKE MERCY
FROM HEAVEN'S GATE
THERE'S A FREEDOM IN YOUR ARMS
AND IT CARRIES ME THROUGH
I NEED YOU.

YOU'RE THE HOPE THAT MOVES ME
TO COURAGE AGAIN
YOUR THE LOVE THAT RESCUES ME
WHEN THE COLD WINDS RAGE
AND ITS SO AMAZING
CAUSE THAT'S JUST HOW YOU ARE
AND I CAN'T TURN BACK NOW
YOU BROUGHT ME TOO FAR.

I NEED YOU LIKE WATER
LIKE BREATH, LIKE RAIN
I NEED YOU LIKE MERCY
FROM HEAVENS GATE
THERE'S A FREEDOM
IN YOUR ARMS
AND IT CARRIES ME THROUGH]
I NEED YOU.

Enjoy the video. Listen to the words and look for the lights. Love, Ange
