Dan brought home Josh Groban’s latest CD Awake. The second track has a gorgeously uplifting song that I have probably played 30 times by now.
This track lilts my heart into clouds of hope. I’ve linked to the YouTube video and listed the lyrics below. I hope it lifts your spirits as well. If it doesn’t, then imagine me singing this to you and it’ll at least make you laugh.
You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up) YouTube link
Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’sheavy I
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you I
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are lovedDon’t give up
It’s just the hurt that you hide
When you’re lost inside I
I’ll be there to find you
Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody needs to be loved
Don’t give up
Because…you are loved
Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
Don’t give up
Everyone needs to be loved
You are loved


Wow! Thank you for that! I have really liked that song but have never heard the words so loud and clear, until now! I am sitting at my computer with streams of tears. Thank you for investing in our lives, it means so much! God Bless!!
I love how music can really speak to our hearts or capture emotions we have a hard time expressing sometimes. I hope they were good tears Kristi?
This is for everyone who reads or attends LAB–you ARE loved–if not by anyone else by me and by your Heavenly father and the little one(s) depending on you to get them through the day.
They were good tears! Between that song and the wrap up of the series at church, I feel inspired! Thank you so much!
