I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor

I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor

 

 

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl who's
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

This well-known song, released in 1978, accidently was remaked in South Korea in 1997. It was my mother's 'the most' favorite song and she was willing to listen every time she felt down. Last night, when I went to Subway, It was there. It instantly cheered me up as always and let me want to share on my blog to remember for next time.

 



10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord), Matt Redman

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

 by Matt Redman

Bless the Lord
O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship your holy name

The sun comes up
It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love and you're slow to anger
Your name is great and your heart is kind
For all your goodness I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing your praise unending
10,000 years and then forever more

There was another project I've started on: listening and collecting a hundred contemporary Christian musics. 10,000 Reasons is the first song I bought. It was number one on the Chirstian music on Amazon music where I downloaded musics mostly. As other Christian musics, easy to follow and to sing, and also sound like a typical Christian music, typical notes and style. However, love the lyric that says, "For all your goodness I will keep on singing. 10,000 reasons for my heart to find." and "Still my soul will sing your praise unending 10,000 years and the forever more."
