The band in my head is taking requests

Have you ever been driving listening to a random classic country cd and wondering if God was speaking to you through Lynn Anderson? I think it means that I'm tired, but "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" should never cross your mind as being a message from the Almighty. Any suggestions for a good old country song to go through my head tomorrow that will make me feel like God is on my team?

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me...

You Needed Me

nice

thanks visitor( "another", was Anderson and Okie? I know Murray wasn't. MLLR is a transplant. Maybe you're one). My mom suggested "Drop kick me Jesus through the goalposts of life". Though the suggestions are me talking to God and not the other way around. Still good.

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

You Needed Me
Anne Murray

Linda, when I think about this song
I think about God and His relationship with me and how no matter what, He is always there, loving me...so I think you are wrong...God wants you to have this song!!!

God really didn't promise you a rose garden but if you want to pretend...

Blue skies smilin on me
Nothin but blue skies
do I see...
Blue days all of them gone
Nothin but blue skies
From now on

Willie Nelson

I'll take "you needed me"... I wasn't saying I wouldn't.

Blue Skies is also a pretend C&W song...written by Irving Berlin. A certain Johnny Paycheck song, which I don't think is inspired,goes through my head on really bad days at work. Maybe I should start listening to Anne Murray, or Louis Armstrong(who Does give you a rose garden).

If I made a compilation children's album, Johnny Paycheck's song would definitely be on it. That's an album from an aunt and not a mother for sure, but it's one of my childhood favorites.

I think mllr's choice was probably the perfect answer, so I'll leave it at that. One thing though, Jessi Colter singing "His Eye is on the Sparrow" (which is an out and out hymn and so doesn't really qualify for my question) is so perfect. Everyone needs to hear it. I believe she feels every word when she's singing.

This is my song at present:
"when you don't feel important
honey all I got to say
is to the world you may just be another girl
but to me baby
you are the world."
I love Brad. I am not sure if this fits the criteria.

JMLO, that's a sweet song... except God loves everybody the same... it's hard to believe you're one in a million, though I know He loves me more than Brad loves Kimberly. Maybe I need some Lucado children's stories to read. Also family, please view the family site and comment
