Song of the Week

I heard Monica do a version of this song at the BET awards and I was blown away. I had to go and look for the original cos I knew it would be stunning. The song is titled 'I love the Lord' by Whitney Houston and it is a soundtrack for the motion picture 'The Preacher's Wife'. This song is spectacular it talks about how we run to God in times of trouble and he hears our cries. It packs a powerful punch folks! There's no visible difference in the studio and live version (as far as I am concerned) It is just Whitney at her finest. I love this song so much, I have put up three different versions as well as the lyrics and I dare you to spot any visible difference in the delivery. She was truly, a star. Look out for goose bumps. As Whitney said at the end; I love the Lord. Do you love Him? Say you love Him. Enjoy and have a great weekend. Ciao bellas!!!

LYRICS

I love the the Lord, he heard my cry 

And pitied every groan, long as I, I live 

And troubles rise, I hasten to his throne 

[Chorus:]

Oh, I love the Lord 

I sure do, surely do love the Lord 

He heard, he heard my cry 

And pitied every groan, yes he did 

Every groan 

Long as I live, long as I, I live 

And troubles rise, troubles rise 

I hasten to to to to to 

I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne 

I'll hasten to his throne hold on hold on 

Tears are streaming down my eyes 

I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne 

Yes I will, I'll run 

I know I can go to his throne 

I know I can go, I know I can go 

I'll hasten, I'm gonna run 

I know I can go, I know I can go 

I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne 

See I can run, Lord you know I will 

When there is nowhere to go I know I can go to you 

I know I can run to you oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'll hasten, hasten to his throne 

Surely gonna be here
