Do songs ever make you tear up?
The other day, as I was grabbing a Diet Coke at 7 eleven to get through my three-hour Chinese class, a song I had just downloaded got me all emotional and I couldn't hold back the tears.
This song speaks to me in every way - although it was written by a man to a man. I am talking about "Him" by Sam Smith. And yes I'm sure. God has enough grace for all of us.
Holy Father, we need to talk I have a secret, that I can’t keep I’m not the boy that, you thought you wanted Please don’t get angry, have faith in me [Chorus] Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch It is him I love, it is him Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us It is him I love, it is him I love I walk the streets of Mississippi I hold my lover by the hand I feel you staring when he is with me How can I make you understand? [Chorus] Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch It is him I love, it is him Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us It is him I love, it is him I love
Holy Father, we need to talk I have a secret, that I can’t keep I’m not the boy that, you thought you wanted Please don’t get angry, have faith in me [Chorus] Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch It is him I love, it is him Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us It is him I love, it is him I love [Verse 2] I walk the streets of Mississippi I hold my lover by the hand I feel you staring when he is with me How can I make you understand? [Chorus] Say I shouldn’t be here but I can’t give up his touch It is him I love, it is him Don’t you try and tell me that God doesn’t care for us It is him I love, it is him I love
Holy Father, judge my sin I’m not afraid of what day will bring I’m not the boy that you thought you wanted I love him
