A song that makes me happy.

Okay, so before you listen to this song, you have to know the story behind it. (Or at least what I was told.)

The guy who wrote this song lived in the 1800s and had a fairly normal life. He and his wife were very much in love, until he started to go blind. After he went completely blind, his wife left him, because she didn't want to be with a man who was disabled. When his wife left him, his sister became his caretaker. However, his sister soon fell and love and decided to get married. Naturally, because she would be living her life with her new husband, she could no longer take care of him. About 20 minutes before his sister's wedding, this man realized that he was going to be completely alone in the world once his sister was married. Instead of hating his life and being angry with God, he wrote "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go," which was a song PRAISING God for all of the wonderful things he had done. In his darkest hour, this man did not ask why God had forsaken him, but instead, was happy. That, to me, is amazing. This song has been sung as a hymn for many years, but my favorite version is by Indelible Grace. Listen, enjoy, and be sure to pay attention to the lyrics!



Keep it classy and fabulous!
