Listen to This.

There are a lot of songs about love out there.
I could chalk this observation up to the fact that I'm listen to a Micheal Bublé station on Pandora.
But when you think about it, pretty much all songs are about love.
A fact I find slightly annoying at the current moment.

There's one song I heard yesterday though that is noteworthy and doesn't make me want to skip until I puke or eat ice cream until I puke.  It's a song that was meaningful to me a few years back too.  And it reminds me of my college roommate for some reason.  Anyway, it's good. 

The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

No I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone (yeah oh oh)

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the sufferin' Your love put You through
And I will walk through the darkness
If You want me to

'Cause when I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes and see you never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to you
And I will walk through the valley if you want me to

Yes, I will walk through the valley if you want me to    -Ginny Owens

And at the risk of showing melancholic honesty, I also found this song's poignancy refreshing.  But you'll have to listen to this one.  I just listened to it again.  Sara you nailed it.
"You can see something else."
Hallelujah.
