phileo?

mmms, came across this song, “I’ll stand by you” originally sang by The Pretenders and later Carrie Underwood and Glee… etc. the lyrics are pretty… well… cheesy, i guess? and i actually think that it’s quite an “idealistic” piece because, it’s tough to say a lot of the lyrics (afterall, i believe that only God can satisfy all of our inner needs, only God can make us whole, feel completely secure…only God can be there at every single moment).

Nevertheless, i believe in phileo, the kind of love between friends that God has made possible, divinely appointed; so, it’s a choice and commitment that i can make today that i will stand by people whom i hold close to my heart. yes, i absolutely can’t gurantee that no one’s gonna get hurt, but i know i can pray… and the power of prayer, the power of God and His love transcends all things, covers all sins, restores all broken relationships and heals all hurts.

I’ll Stand By You: The Pretenders/ Carrie Underwood

Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes,

Come on and come to me now.

Don’t be ashamed to cry,

let me see you through

Cause i’ve seen the dark side too.

When the night falls on you, you don’t know what to do,

Nothing you confess, could make me love you less…

I’ll stand by you, I’ll stand by you,

Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you

 

So, if you’re mad,get mad.

Don’t hold it all inside,

Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too,

Well, I’m a lot like you.

When you’re standing at the crossroads,

Don’t know which path to choose,

Let me come along,

Cause even if you’re wrong

(Chorus)
