Amy Grant - The Feeling I Had Lyrics

one of the most devastating songs I've ever heard. It honestly sounds like someone on the brink of suicide. we know thats not the case with amy, but listening to the lyrics of this, it sounds like someone that has completely given up, and it's very powerful to hear someone like Amy publicly express a weak moment like this.

As honest of a songwriter as you’ll ever find. Behind the Eyes and Simple Things are true masterpieces.

stitching up my dreams with this thread of woe ..........

beautifull

One of the very best songs she has every written. Still moves me every time I hear it.

that sounds like te position i am in. I feel like Natalie embrulia in the film clip "that day' where every one is walking the other way, and i just have to keep walking the other way. I trust this true love no matter how lonely or bad it gets.xo

I totally understand you. We hear a different voice to the rest of the world. But that voice is so clear, I trust it no matter what! It can be a lonely place but i trust where i am.xo

I really love this tune. It speaks sadly with my soul.

want others seeing us and judging us...our REAL selves. It's so odd though...a HOLY Righteous God can love and accept us for us...but miserable horrible sinners flawed and marred with cracks can't. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Hmm. Is there a soul like me out there who might possibly ...just possibly understand me? Undrstand me? a caring and gentle soul that believes in second chances, grace and mercy? Grace and Mercy....hm. grace

Why is it that in order for one person to be happy another person has to be sad? Why does it have to be that way? Amy Grant will never read this but if she ever did I would tell her life is alot different "going into it ...then coming out of it". If I coujld talk to her I'd tell her ..I'd ask her so many things. The world is so harsh. Every day and night is bad news. going to church is supposed to help and sometimes it does, but often it doesn't. Often we just all hide away because we just don't

want to hurt that other person though. They care deeply for them but they suspect deep inside they're both not in love, not really. They're good friends and care for one another but ....hm....but the songs they sing in their heart of hearts isnt' the song the other person sings in their heart of hearts. Is there someone like that out there who knows what Amy Grant was feeling and can understand her feelings and struggles if just by listening to her songs of honesty and sad truth. ?

and lonely. Is there a woman out there maybe like me? trapped? but caring for doing the right thing and cares for the person their supposed to be committed to .... they' re 'supposed ' to be alot of things and they try and try and ....try.....but inside ...inside is a different story and they wonder if God cares. They wonder if Jesus could maybe have mercy on them and maybe just maybe work things out so that possibly they might have a second chance at life... at love. They just don't

and lonely.

but not satisfied either with it? Is there anyone with a passion for life and Jesus and God's creation and critters and feels the pain of the broken hearted and wants to tell the world about the doctor who longs to bind and heal their wounds? Is there anyone like me? Lost and lonely in a relationship that just kinda feels lifeless and even though the other person is great and caring...they know that it's going nowhere and they pray to God every night that maybe just maybe he'll have mercy on

this way? I think this is why I love Amy Grant so much. People like her are so great with their honesty and genuiness. It took me awhile to understand that she's a human being like the rest of us and not a demi-god. I had to allow her to step down off her high pedistol where I put her for so many years. I understand why she left someone that she really cared about but wasn't in love with..and I understand how it must have just racked her soul inside and out with guilt and grief and loneliness

for your attention? Does anyone else pick up the Bible and pray and pray that God just becomes more real than their pain? but nothing happens? Does anyone else feel their prayers hitting the top of the ceiling and falling back down to the floor? Why don't I feel more victorious? why don't I feel more like those people in those books that talk about the "GREAT Victorious Christian Life". What happens when the joy of what "should be" is father than the pain of 'what is" ? Am I the only one to feel

comes and we are all called to stand before Him. I want to go home so badly...am I alone on this? Does anyone else feel like me? Does anyone else have such a hard time just 'getting by' and just wondering about the "Abundant Life" we're all supposed to be living? I do love Him. It's taken me 30 years to realise that my pain is greater than his love to me....and when it is....when the reality of living as a fallen being in this fallen world with so much stress and daily issues of life vying

I slowly wake up either from the pain or having to go to the bathroom or just cause and I see and feel the wonderful dream of me running and laughing seeping away and I just wish I could ...sigh...just listen to Amy Grant "All I ever have to be is what you made me" like I am now...and I find some peace for a few moments when I'm alone and the lights are off at night. I close my eyes and just for a blip of a second I think I can just find some of what it will be like for us when that Last Day

I go to bed at night and dread my dreams. I either have really bad nightmares seeing my dead mom who died from cancer a few years back .. dead and decaying under a veil and i tell her .." You're supposed to be dead ... mom." and she just sits there and does not answer. I miss her badly even though I was badly abused as a child by her and my dad and grandfather especially. when I don't have nightmares I have good dreams....dreams of me running (I can barely walk without agnoizining pain) and

pleading for healing for my health. I feel like I'm in prison in my body. I wrestle with guilt for not being a better Christian in my walk. I get angry with God and then throw my hands up because most days I just hurt so badly physically and I read the promises of the Bible ...especially in Romans, I and II Cor. , Heb. and I just can't 'get' there. I don't feel it. I beg for to be filled with His Spirit like I used to and I feel nothing. I can't apprehend anything and I get really depressed.

Hi RW, thanks for writing me and keeping up with me. This is what seperates us from the rest of the world. The family of God are never strangers...isn't it odd and strange but great that we meet people that are in all practical ways....strangers...but it's like we just connect almost immediately if not after a bit of talking because of Christ. Because of His love and mercy and grace and truth...and life changing presence. To answer your question I just got back from a walk with my beagle

@cmdesign01 -"Hey there hun how ya doing since your post 8mths ago? Good I hope. Remember that when life seems its belakest that God is always just a prayer away so never give up regardless of what the critics around your life say NEVER give up. Hang onto God because He's hanging onto you."

How could this song have not been used in a movie?

@cmdesign01
Hey how are you doing?

@cmdesign01
Beautiful song.... i have loved it since i was really young
So....how are you doing?
I know what it means to be where she was

So many years later and many of my dreams have turned to regrets...I never have found the love that I've always wanted. At least Amy is still around singing from her heart and behing honest. If anyone reads these words...message me and ask me how I'm doing...I could use it.

How are you doing Carly?
I would like to let you know that true love is not what we think because we can love someone deeply from the spirit or from the flesh/self, and these are vastly different.
One is loving someone with God's love and it's selfless and not about what you get out of the deal, but you receive a deep love from God as you do this, and the other version is to love someone with your own love, and that's more of a self satisfying love about getting something thats lacking for you, but it's not spiritually satisfying if it's from the flesh/self.

Grant has been real her whole life with her struggles and her fans. She even kissed me on the cheek one time after a concert and I got to sing a song with her (and 11 others) my heart told me "that's the woman I want to fall in love with".

all I ever wanted was to be loved. Even as I write these words I wonder if anyone will ever read them, I wonder if God will ever hear them...but Amy

I am reading them right now, and you are loved but there are reasons why our hearts cannot receive the love and sadly the reasons are not things we want to hear so I will be gentle.
A persons love cannot fill our soul, because our soul is spiritual and needs spiritual love to fill that up, and a person is limited in their abilities to operate in spiritual love because that comes only from God through his spirit, and many resort to loving others merely from their own love in the flesh and that love can only touch us in the ways that's not soul deep.
If your seeking this love that fills your soul right up, then you have to understand what it means to press out of the flesh and into the spirit in faith because as you move along that journey your made more and more spiritual and able to receive more and more of that soul filling, satisfying love.
Don't settle for a persons love, and as you run after it your heart is exalting it above God's love, and this is counterproductive because man's love is just not the same as God's love, and his love shines on us in varying amounts based on our rebellion or obedience even though few ever will agree with that, but as one who has sought God love out in the spirit, it's positive, that his love grows as you step deeper and deeper into obedience with heart, mind and life.
The fullness of God's love is found when your heart and mind are preferring God, Christ and their ways with your all, and in that preference is when God rewards you with all of his love.
If you want all of his love, then give him all of yours, and that's a heart, mind agreeing, preferring, following and clinging to God, Christ, and their ways and aligning with them.
This is where all the love you ever are searching for is found.

you know I've been listening to Amy Grant ever since I became a Christian listening to her song "What a difference You've Made in My life" . I wanted the hope and love she sang about. The funny thing is that I was singing that same song but by Ronnie Milsap...he sang about a woman and she sang about her God. Coming from a home of child abuse and neglect

So deep and soulful...

Incredible song!!
