And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in
May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you
I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
'Cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake
May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you
'Cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You
I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'Cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me
May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you
Arthur received media attention and controversy during the COVID-19 pandemic due to his belief that the Covid-19 vaccination is a danger to humanity. He released "Stop the Shot," a song which repeats the lyric “We will overcome/what those fools have done" in August 2021
Interesting.
I don't normally post comments but I really enjoy perusing them. Usually the comments are reasonably open minded and often downright entertaining. When God is mentioned however, the comments seem to turn the other way. It is a shame that we can tolerate free speech of any sort, as long as it doesn't mention God. Whether you believe in God or not, you are always free to accept or ignore the message, the song, the lyrics or what have you.
For myself, I really like this song and appreciate the fact that Joseph Arthur isn't afraid of referring to "God" in his music.
I believe you're correct.

hahahaha!
Takes everything melodically beautiful about this song... and just flattens it. Please play the original. I beg you.
This is the original, champ.
As an atheist, I appreciate the expression of faith, who am I to judge. Some of the most beautiful music is rooted in the expression of faith!
As a believer, I thank you for your thoughtful and kind comment.

Maybe he's singing to a man? We're not all cisgender heteronormative.
Touché, true, we're not. But creepy is creepy. I'm doubting that a gay man would necessarily find these maudlin lyrics more pleasing?
![confused](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_confused.gif)
Well, I also keep hearing the Fray's song "How To Save A Life" in this, without that song's empathy. But, whatever...
Who is he singing to, anyway? What girl wouldn't find this a turn off eventually.

Plus the self-uncertainty and gratuitous "May God's love be with you" is just pitiful. Who is he singing to, anyway? What girl wouldn't find this a turn off eventually.

If one did this, one would necessarily translate the whole song into Arabic. Changing one word into another language does not change the meaning of the song.
For that matter, why Arabic (Allah)? Why not call spanish (Dios)? or French (Dieu)? Or Punjabi (Raba)?
Or any other language? God is just a name in English. There is literally no difference between God and Allah, in terms of names. They are LITERALLY the same thing.
Why's the rating like that?
That is what makes him so interesting. In concert he will have some of his loop music playing while he "does his art" for us to watch, and then we can buy it later as a memory. I loved him when I saw him with my buddy at the Soiled Dove in Denver 4 years ago. In the small venue you can truly connect with him and his music. After the show was over he was so kind and tried to see as many people who were still there to thank us for coming. He wanted to talk and he showed his spirit as a true human and artist. He is not trying to get rich. He is connecting..us.all.
I would have never known about him had it not been for RP. !!! Kisses again to RP. The love of my life.

p.s.

Took the words right out of my head!

I also don’t believe in God but I have no problem with those who do (as long as they don’t impose their beliefs on others). I’m also not going to discriminate against a song because it has a religious slant..
There are other people who ust must see to the business of making one practice their religion. Quite off-putting. I too, like this song.
Her voice is actually a little more hoarse when she's got a hangover, but at least she still makes pretty good corned beef hash and coffee.
You have a point about the artwork. Thanks for making me take a closer look at the artwork. It is a little disturbing, and definitely worthy of attention.
The song sounds worthy of a few more listens too.
The song sung by Peter is much more palatable, for me, than this one. I can feel the, "I wish you well" in Gabriel's art.
So many people, here, site the religious aspects of this conversation as being the root of contention. For me, it is personal and not associated with the corner "Faith me out of all trouble and responsibility" societies.
When the wish for non-existent love from a non-existent god is issued, all I can think of is the complete lack of integrity it takes to say it. If there is an ass-hat that created us "Smart enough to destroy the world, and stupid enough to let it happen", I'd much rather raise the finger to the sadistic psychopath. Do you think psychopaths respect cowardice.
If I ever meet the bitch, if it is sincere, if it confesses it's transgressions, if it professes not to repeat them and if it asks for forgiveness....
Nahh, never trust a psychopath, it is incapable of sincerity.
I don't believe in God but I like this song.
If you're going to criticise a song by drawing similarities to another, maybe don't choose one of the most well-loved songs of all time? Just a tip.
One of the few songs that I hit PSD on. I'm not anti-religious, I just really don't dig this at all.
(I got Depeche Mode - Halo, excellent sidetrack!)

......."the minority report"
Me.
Yuch, a 2. Not bothered by the message like some, I just really don't dig this song.
For that matter, where is Yoda? (Just kidding)
I agree that the song does touch.
What does that mean, pixeli?
Aren't the commenters just exercising their free speech to dislike the song? Or is it just allowable free speech when they agree with you?
If someone can make reference to a god in a song and not have the song be a banal annoyance they're welcome to try. This guy doesn't manage it. To paraphrase Hank Hill, he's not making his god better, he's just making music worse.

love that.

Oh, yes! Love that version!
Please.
I don't believe X was mentioned in the lyrics. Perhaps he was signing about Thor.

Oh no you don't, just stop it.

I was also thrown off by the "Christian Rock" misnomer.
It's not bad but would benefit by being at least 2 minutes shorter.

Great pic. Thanks.

I think it was from going through nothing but religious debate before I came across this comment, but you still owe me a new keyboard.
