I'll Stand By You

Tonight I bought a song that Carrie Underwood recorded for people to buy on iTunes for proceeds to go to the Idol Gives Back charity. I was listening to the song and I really felt God talking to me through the WHOLE song. Then I was reminded that this song was in the prayer room at Youth Councils and that God spoke to me then through that same song. He brought me those memories back when I was sorting through some old papers and I found the letter I wrote at Youth Councils when I was in there, and that song was written on the top. Many months later it was sung on American Idol by one of the contestants, and then by Carrie most recently. The lyrics are SO powerful it brought me to tears. God wants to stand by me through EVERYTHING. He will NEVER walk away from us. When others walk out of our lives, he is still there through it all. He will NEVER leave me.

Deuteronomy 31:8 says " The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Here are the lyrics to it. I pray that God speaks to you through this song and brings to you the place I am at. It feels wonderful to feel loved:

I'll Stand By You
by the Pretenders

Oh, Why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes.
Come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through,
Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you,
You don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess,
could make me love you less.

I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

So,
If you're mad, get mad.
Don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
hey, what you've got to hide?
I get angry too,
Well I'm a lot like you.
When you're standing at the crossroads,
Don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along.
Cause even if you are wrong...

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when,
When the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
Walking all on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I`ll stand by you.

As I was listening to this song, God was speaking to me and showing me scriptures that prove that this song is words straight from His mouth:

Psalm 91 (The entire chapter is about His protection over us)

John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."

Hebrews 13:8 "So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

1 John 1:9 " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Matthew 19:14 " Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
