The Moment

This song really touched me. It is covered here by the beautiful and talented Adele on her debut album '19' [originally written and performed by Bob Dylan]. But beyond all that that the song really hit me yesterday, Sunday, January 31, 2010, while in the bathroom cleaning up. I was listening to it on repeat and each time it seemed to resonate with me more and more. The lyrics are so beautiful and really hit me hard. All I can say is that emotion swelled within me because I thought of my father, Nolan, Sr. and my Grandmother and all they've done for me and my brother and sisters. I imagined that they felt what this song was screaming to me - their undying, unconditional love, I feel, is exemplified by this musical expression.

Then my mind ran up the ladder to God and his love for me in the same way. I just sat there, overwhelmed by how much HE loved/loves me and my fam - so much so that HE'd minister to me - speak to me - with this song to put me in remembrance of all that HE had done, all the HE is doing, and all the that HE will do! It touched me because through Adele's voice HE seemed to be so close to me, there in the bathroom talking to me, telling me how much HE cares for me, loves me - and all of us really. It is was a really serious, powerful moment for me, it moved me to tears. But for those who don't feel loved or cared for just know God does. This song, to me, is indicative of that notion, and of the fact that HE'll always be there, looking out for us - through our Family, Friends, Loved Ones. HE's always there.

Here are the lyrics to the song, I hope you find them as powerful as I did.

Make You Feel My Love
By Bob Dylan

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong

I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
