Oooh, that John Denver song reminded me...We added two "real" songs to our Pref my senior year....One was from Hope Floats called "To Get Me to You" by Lila McCann and it was SOOOO beautiful.
Well I, I still can remember times
When the night seemed to surround me
I was sure the sun would never shine on me
And I, I thought it my destiny
To walk this world alone
But now you're here with me
Now you're here with me
And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you
To get me to you
Well I, I still can recall the days
When I had no love around me
Makes me glad for every day I have with you
And I, I look in your eyes and know
I'm right where I belong
And I belong with you
Always belonged with you
And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to go through
To get me to you
To get me to you
And if I could I wouldn't change a thing
Wouldn't change a thing baby
Because your love was waiting there for me
Waiting there for me baby
And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way
Every road I had to take
Every time my heart would break
It was just something that I had to get through
To get me to you
To get me to you
This song makes me cry, because it really hits the nail on the head for our chapter for how much we have to work to stay afloat, but it's all worth it in the end.
And the other one we added was by a contemporary Christian singer....Geoff Moore and the Distance. Sorry, had a brain fart there. And it's called If You Could See What I See. There were only 2 references to G-d in it, but those can easily be tweaked to say Phi Mu or "my sisters" or something.
All of my life I have dreamed that somehow love would find me.
Now I can't believe you're stan-ding here.
If beauty is all in the eye of the beholder then I
wish you could see the love for you that lives in me.
And you would know you have my heart,
If you could see what I see;
That a trea-sure's what you are, if you could see what I see;
Created to be the only one for me;
If you could see what I see
I know there are days when you feel so much less than ideal
Wondering what I see in you
It's all of the light and the grace
Your belief in me drives me to say
That I promise you a faithful love forever true
And you would know you have my heart,
If you could see what I see;
That a treasure's what you are, if you could see what I see;
Created to be the only one for me;
If you could see what I see
Then you'd understand why I fall down to my knees;
And I pray my love will be worthy of
The One who gave His life so our love could be.
And you would know you have my heart,
If you could see what I see;
That a treasure's what you are,
If you could see what I see;
You're created to be the perfect one for me
If you could see what I see
If beauty is all in the eye of the beholder then I
Am beholding true beauty.
Sorry, I was just reminded of those songs and wanted to share.
