Ruth and Naomi — a young widow, a grieving mother — tie a knot of unparalleled friendship. Trying to gather up dreams, they hold onto each other and hope.
Pull up a chair, relax, and listen to hope sung by Nichole Nordeman and Amy Grant. 🙂 The lyrics are below.
“I’m With You”
Love is a hurricane in a blue sky
I didn’t see it coming, never knew why
All the laughter and the dreams
All the memories in between
Washed away in a steady stream
Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul
I thought I planted beauty, but it would never grow.
Now I’m on my hands and knees
trying to gather up my dreams
trying to hold on to anything
And we could shake a fist in times like this
When we don’t understand
Or we could just hold hands
You and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you, with you
You do your best to build a higher wall
To keep love safe from any wrecking ball
When the dust has cleared, we will
See the house that love rebuilds
Guarding beauty that lives here still
It’s you and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you
Who can say I’m left with nothing
When I have all of you, all of you, yeah
In the way you’ve always loved me
I remember. He does too
You and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you
(We’re gonna make it through)
You and me, me and you
Where you go I’ll go too
I’m with you, I’m with you
Until your heart, finds a home
I won’t let you feel alone
I’m with you, I’m with you
With you
Psst. . .did you read day 7 of my 31 days of friendship series: “Can You Name Your First Friend?”
You Are Blessed,
I did read day seven !
Thank you, Amanda. You are sweet to keep up with my blog. How did you like today’s song of friendship?
I loved these verses the best- “I’m with you, I’m with you, Until your heart, finds a home”
I find in the comments I leave my young friends that I see what I needed to hear as a teenager.
Try to not limit yourself to one set of friends. Go outside your comfort zone and get involved in school activities that you wouldn’t necessarily do otherwise. Trust the Lord that you will find others that feel the same way as you do and would love to have a friend like you.
Thanks for sharing, JoAnne. I love this song too. Someone posted it on my wall and the friendship theme in the song fit perfectly with my 31 Days of Friendship series.
