Though Bryan White is not one of the more well-known country artists, he has a lot of songs I really love. With almost all of his songs, I can relate them to a person or situation in my life that seems to mirror exactly what he sings about. The following lyrics are to his song called "God Gave Me You". Although the words are most likely intended to be towards a significant other and the love between two adults, the lyrics have always taken me to the day my daughter was born and how she changed my life. In fact, I even changed my playlist around a little bit so it will play first instead of my previous song.
So blessed to have a daughter that God gave me 8 years ago today.
God Gave Me You
Bryan White
For all times I felt cheated, I complained
You know how I love to complain
For all the wrongs I repeated, though I was to blame
I still cursed that rain
I didn't have a prayer, didn't have a clue
Then out of the blue
God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you
For all the times I wore my self pity like a favorite shirt
All wrapped up in that hurt
For every glass I saw, I saw half empty
Now it over flows like a river through my soul
From every doubt I had, I'm finally free
And I truly believe
God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you
In your arms I'm someone new
With every tender kiss from you
I must confess, I've been blessed
God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you
God gave me you
