Today's topic is...a song that makes me cry (or nearly cry).
Okay so that would be every song.
This is both easy and difficult for me to write about. Easy because I love songs! Difficult because I write about them all the time and probably already shared with you the ones I love the most!
The one I'm choosing to share with you today is one that just came out last year by (of course) the Gaither Vocal Band. It's on their Greatly Blessed project. I first fell in love with this song because it has uh-mazing vocals toward the end. A little five part harmony with an "are you KIDDING me???" note by David.
But as the year went on, the words sank into my heart more than the notes, and the message of this song became so personal to me. I need Your grace to make it through...all I have is You...I'm at Your mercy.
Michael English has the solo on this song and I think knowing his story and the mercy and grace the Lord has showered on him in allowing him a second chance at life and ministry makes this song all the more powerful for me. Because of that, I chose a live version of the song to share, but if you want to hear that stunner note from the studio version, go here.
And what about you? Got a song that makes you cry? I'm always looking for a good cry! :)

My late stepfather-in-law loved The Gaithers, so my mother-in-law's iPod is loaded down with their songs. That's the only time I've heard them -- helping her get the songs together for his funeral.
I think I'd like that ipod!!! :)
There are so many songs to pick from!
The one I shared on my "Glorious" blog for you is one of the top ones: "When I Hear the Praises Start".
Another is "Would You Believe in Me?" by the now defunct group "Truth". "The Warrior" by Chuck Girard is another fantastic one.
Welcome back, Delta! Missed you!! I did love that song you posted for me. Great one!
It's not quite a song, but I have trouble getting through the Pledge of Allegiance without choking up.
There aren't many songs that make me cry when I hear them, although the song that came after "Orinoco Flow" on whatever album of Enya's that was would evoke deep sorrow to the point that I couldn't listen to it. But sometimes I didn't get to the Skip button fast enough, and my daughter who was 3 at the time would start sobbing and saying, "I miss my dead Grandma" (the one who died 4 years before my daughter was born).
But for singing, "Fairest Lord Jesus" has made my cry the greatest number of times.
Have you heard the GVB's Pledge of Allegiance song? It's a tear jerker!!
