God Gave Me You - Blake Shelton

I gave it hell on Friday nights All about that single life I gave my mama a reason to pray Didn't care about trying to change, no I gave my all to those empty bars They always left me with a broken heart Never really ever gave love a thought Man, as soon as I swore it off God gave me a girl, girl gave me a kiss Kiss gave me a feeling that I still get Every time I look in her eyes I don't deserve her and I don't know why She gave me her hand and I gave her a ring Then as soon as I could, I gave her my last name Now, I'm gonna give her forever I knew what I wanted, but he knew better, God gave me a girl, hmm Yeah, yeah, the boys gave me a hard time 'Cause I was giving her all of mine But the first time they met her is when they understood Said, "How'd you get one so good?" God gave me a girl, girl gave me a kiss Kiss gave me a feeling that I still get Every time I look in her eyes I don't deserve her and I don't know why She gave me her hand and I gave her a ring Then as soon as I could, I gave her my last name Now, I'm gonna give her forever I knew what I wanted, but he knew better God gave me a girl At just the right time And I'd give her the world 'Cause she changed mine God gave me a girl, girl gave me a kiss Kiss gave me a feeling that I still get Every time I look in her eyes I don't deserve her and I don't know why She gave me her hand and I gave her a ring Then as soon as I could, I gave her my last name Now, I'm gonna give her forever I knew what I wanted, but he knew better God gave me a girl, God gave me a girl Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, God gave me a girl

You delivered my soul from condemnation, keep me from stumbling (Psalm 56:13) In the toughest of times, keeping me in line, Through the trials and the oppositional sufferings Losing everything I ever worked for, thinking life is over, so I turned to You Then You showed me that losing everything to gain Christ Is the pinnacle of life, eternal life is knowing You In the midst of my suffering, there You are standing close never remaining afar Giving me child-like faith, I know You'll catch me Father if I let go of the bars There is no other like You, there is no other that's true Faithful with never-ending compassionate lovingkindness in everything that You do! Hosanna, Hosanna, yes, You are mighty to save Hosanna, Hosanna, Hallelujah, You conquered the grave! My Savior, You lift me up when my heavy heart is weary My Redeemer, Your love never fails and is always constantly near me! My Shelter and my refuge, the One who knows my heart For the joy set before You, our salvation, You endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2) So I consider all my sufferings at the present time Unworthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us! (Rom. 8:18) You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything O Lord, You're incredibly patient; Your love, it overwhelms. Though I mess up every single day you hold me close; In Your house, I choose to dwell. Sometimes my ways are crooked, misguided, or straight up wrong. Often I put up a front, for my friends, that I am strong. I don't wanna show my weakness; I gotta have it all together when I'm talking bout Jesus. I must be perfect; Who wants to listen to a guy who's flawed and conceited? Look at your other brothers with solid discourse and are never flustered; You need to brush up on your speech, it's lacking luster. My best was never good enough; compared to other saints I didn't measure up. I failed again. Man, I feel like giving up. Such an empty life; God, I need Your holy touch. My heart said I didn't need your mercy, but you called my bluff. You saw right through me; I'm just a little kid trying to act all tough. My calloused heart turned fleshy; the walls are crumbling down. I don't need to look a certain way; I don't gotta have a certain style. I've regained my vision and my sin has been exposed. God, thank you for setting me straight back on this narrow road. You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything

You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee Talkin' to the Man from Galilee He spoke to me in the voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet He called my name and my heart stood still When he said, "Johnny, go do My will!" Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Well, you may throw your rock, hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?"

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby?
