Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

Original post by PeteysBride

Ok ladies so in another thread we started talking about our favorite uplifting/inspirational songs so I thought we should do a spin off since we all have those days where we just want to give up. The ones I am going to post are spiritual related for the most part, but feell free to post any song that makes your spirits life a little bit.

1. Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood.
2. I have been Blessed by Martina McBride
3. Live like you were Dying by Tim McGraw
4. Three Wooden Crosses By ?

These are the ones that always remind me ok today sux @$$ but tomorrow will be a better day and you will feel the sunshine warm on your face once more.

Taryn suggested this one

1. 'How You Live': by Point of Grace...

i know, kind of corney, the Husband makes fun of me all the time but I love the classic church hyms or the old time gospel quartet singers, my dad got me into that.

If I had a long day at work & I need to unwind I need to blast some Life of agony or Pantera

you always need balance : )

ps: a great pick-me-up song as a couple is 'I will be here' by Steven Curtis Chapman....we had it sung at our ceremony. It's so beautiful...not ur typical lovey dovey love song..more like - when the going gets tough we're in this together:

I Will Be Here(Steven Curtis Chapman)

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.[/QUOTE

DH and I LOVE this song. I wonder why we never thought to use it in our ceremony... oh well

Oh and great suggestions ladies- Only the Good Die Young, Bless the Broken Road (even though it doesn't apply to us), Nothing's Gonna Stop Us, Fighter- all some of my favorites

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

I'm a Dead Head at heart. And this is my inspirational song. UNBROKEN CHAIN. Although it's a mellow song, it always makes me happy. I sooo miss Jerry Garcia

Lyrics:


Blue light rain, whoa unbroken chain,
Looking for familiar faces in an empty window pane.

Listening for the secret, searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher and the baying of his hounds.

Willow sky, whoa, I walk and wonder why,
They say love your brother, but you will catch it when you try.

Roll you down the line boy, drop you for a loss,
Ride you out on a cold railroad and nail you to a cross.

November and more, as I wait for the score,
Theyre telling me forgiveness is the key to every door.
A slow winder day a night like forever,
Sink like a stone, float like a feather.

(instrumental)

Lilac rain, unbroken chain, song of the sawhet owl.
Out on the mountain, itll drive you insane, listening to the winds howl

Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, unbroken chain of shy and sea.
Unbroken chain of the western wind, unbroken chain of you and me.

Re: Spinoff: inspirational and Feel Good Songs

just heard a great song! It's kind of a gospel feel but i love the words! Just a reminder that no matter what u do or what people think, there's a big God up there that loves ya no matter what

Beyonce and Walter Williams Sr.
lyrics - 'He Still Loves Me'

[W]
Took me a while
But I'm finally here
I just wanna testify
Make it crystal clear
See I've been picked out,
to be picked on
Talked about out my friend's mouth...
I've been beat down
'Til he turned my life around
(turned my life around)

[Chorus:]
Seems like I'm always fall short of bein' worthy
'cuz I aint good enough'
but He still loves me.
(yeah)
I aint no superstar
The spotlight aint shinin on me
(no no no no no)
'cuz I aint good enough'
but He still loves me
Loves me

[B
I used to wake up some days
and wish I'd stayed asleep..
cuz i went to bed on top of the world
but today the world's on top of me
everybody's got opinions
(they share)
They aint been in my position
(they don't care)
that it breaks my heart when I hear what they have to say about me yeah
(what they say)

Seems like I'm always fall short (fallin short)
of bein worthy (Lord I aint worthy)
cuz I aint good enough (no no)
but Ya still love me (still love me)

[All]
I aint no superstar
(I wanna be for you)
The spotlight aint shinin on me
cuz I aint good enough
but He still loves me

I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm trying my best but
but it aint good enough
(just aint good enough)
Shunned by the world,
if I don't succeed cuz I aint good enough
but He still loves me

If you aint worthy just raise your hands
And let me know that you understand
That we are all so blessed
To be loved, loved

Stand for him and fall for anything
Cause through his eyes we all look the same
What would we do without blame?

Feels like we always fall short
of bein worthy (we are not worthy)
cuz I aint good enough
but He still loves me
I aint no superstar
(I aint no superstar but I wanna be for you Lord)
The spotlight aint shinin on me
Cuz I aint good enough
(Oh)
But You still love me

I'm not perfect
Yes I do wrong
I'm tryin my best but
(tryin my best)
It aint good enough
(I'm not good enough)
Shunned be the word
(shunned by the world)
If i dont succeed cuz I aint good enough
But He still loves me
(the Lord still loves me)

No I aint good enough
But He still loves me
(Raise your hands if ya understand)
No I aint good enough
(How he blessed you cuz he blessed you too)
but He still loves me
(even though I aint worthy)
No I aint good enough
(He's there for you)
but He still loves me
(no matter what I do)
No I aint good enough
(I aint good enough)
but he still loves me
(but the Lord still loves me)
