Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air,
I know I can count on you,
Sometimes I feel like saying;
"Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through..
"I swear Justin. Sometimes I don’t understand why I let you drag me here," I said exasperated.
"It’s good to come to church."
I take a drag from my cigarette and roll my eyes at him.
"I know it is but sometimes I just feel like saying "Ef this!" and walking out."
"Don’t say things like that," he says grabbing my hand.
I smiled at him and kissed him. I turned and looked out onto the beautiful lake in front of me.
"God is love."
"Yeah but you're love too," I say quietly.
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough,
And things go wrong no matter what I do,
Now and then it seems like life is just too much..
But you've got the love I need to see me through..
I sat on a bench in a little park watching as a momma duck and her babies swam across the lake. If only life were that easy. IF only I wasn’t so depressed. IF only my life could end. They say there's a God up there, so why doesn’t he help me? Cause there is none. i don’t know what good is, what happiness is, what love is. They say that this God is supposed to love me, but I don’t feel loved. This shiit is bogus. I took a drag of my cigarette letting it sit in my lungs. Maybe I'll die.
When food is gone, you are my daily meal,
When friends are gone,
I know my savior’s love is real,
Your know it's real..
I'm sitting at my bench and this boy comes along. I mean he's cute maybe 16 or 17, light brown hair, and big brown eyes. He was a little cutie.
He came and took a seat next to me. I sat there looking out into the water and smoking. He turned to me.
"Something is telling me I should talk to you," he says.
"Hi," I say and turn to face my pond.
"I'm Justin and who are you Ms. red-head and emerald eyes?"
"Emma," I say extending my hand.
"Hi."
"You said that already."
"Do you know who God is?"
And that's how it started. That’s how Justin Bieber started getting me into church.
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
"God is love."
"If God is love, why don’t I feel it?"
"I love you. Do you feel that," he asked me.
"Yeah I do," I say.
"See that's God."
"I love smoking. Is that God?"
"No. Only things that are good for you. Like me. Do you love me?"
I nod sucking on my cigarette.
"Don’t ever love me more then God or he'll take me away from you."
"Then I hate you," I say jokingly. We both laugh and stare out at the pond.
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love..
I was sitting on my bench waiting for Justin. I was thinking about what we were talking about yesterday. About how God was love. I reflected. Maybe God was loved. I felt loved. Justin's family was awesome, his mom an I were in sync, and the church he dragged me too was looking for a new singer. Maybe- no this definitely was love.
I couldn’t ask for anything more. A cool boyfriend, his nice family, a spot in the choir, and most of all the love from God. What more could I ask for?
Time after time I think;
"Oh Lord, what's the use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good..
Cos sooner or later in life,
The things you love you lose,
But you've got the love I need to see me through..
I'm on stage. They have me in green robes and my hair is in a pony tail with spiraling curls on the sides of my face. I blew a strand of fiery red hair from my face. I was starting to worry that I might look weird. My brown freckles, green eyes, fiery red hair, with the pale skin. I just wanted to leave, but I couldn’t let down the Bieber's. I bowed my head and prayed.
God you've gotten me this far don’t let me give up on myself. I know you say I have free will but this time control me. Let me not mess up my words, let me not stumble, let me not make a fool of myself. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I lifted my head and the words seemed to come out from nowhere.
"Before I sing I'd like to say something. I've quit smoking. I wrote this song for Justin and the Bieber's who help me find love and happiness and a home in their arms and in God's.
You Got The Love," I said and after that the words of the song suddenly came pouring from my mouth.
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
You got the love,
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air,
Cos I know I can count on you,
Sometimes I feel like saying;
"Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through.
I remember that time when I sat on the bench with Justin and he said something to me. I didn’t understand it in the beginning, but I do now.
"God is love."
yeah its a little spiritual but I thought this song was really cool. At first I thought she meant a guy she loved had the love... but I listened to it and its God who has the love. So the song really moved me so I put it into JB VERSION. & JB isn’t famous in this story. Please comment and I don’t mean to offend anyone. If it does offend someone sry
