After listening to K-LOVE for awhile, I’ve come to a realization. I skew a little younger than the “adult contemporary” Christian music they’re known for.
Thank God there’s Air1 – The Positive Alternative.
I may be over 40 but my musical tastes fit better with Air1’s mix of upbeat Christian pop, Christian hard rock and Christian rap. The musical good news I share with you going forward will be Air1 oriented. Sorry if this is a problem for anyone. I gotta be me.
This song is out of this world catchy and delivers a powerful message with beating you over the head with God. I believe these types of Christian songs are very effective at pulling in those who are searching, those who need a more subtle message. I have no data to back this up, it just makes sense to me.
Here are the awesomely metaphorical lyrics…
“You’ll Never Be Alone”
I’m the street lights that guide you home
I’ll be the G.P.S when you’ve lost your phone
I’ll be the song that’s rockin’ in your headphones
I’ll show you the signs
To let you know
You’ll never be alone
Hey
Let me start it off by sayin’ this
You mean everything to me nothin’ I wouldn’t risk
Every single second and moment that passes by
I’m thinkin’ about you and I really want you to know that
There’s something more out there
Somethin’ that will hold you very tight when you’re scared
‘Cause I know when times get tough and it starts to feel rough
It can feel like everythings crashin’ down on ya
So when it seems like every road you’re on has hit a dead end
There is hope
Let me show
I’m the street lights that guide you home
I’ll be the G.P.S when you’ve lost your phone
I’ll be the song that’s rockin’ in your headphones
I’ll show you the signs
To let you know
You’ll never be alone
You’ll never be alone
Man
Crazy how you got this far
I’d be sittin’ just wonderin’ where to start
Last week you were sayin’ that somethin’ just ain’t right
Layin’ in your bed stayin’ up all night
‘Cause
This life is harder than it seems
But one thing I’ve learned is never stop chasin’ your dreams
And if it, if it ever get’s to hectic for you
Stop for a second and remember one thing.
So when it seems like every road you’re on has hit a dead end
There is hope
Let me show
I’m the street lights that guide you home
I’ll be the G.P.S when you’ve lost your phone
I’ll be the song that’s rockin’ in your headphones
I’ll show you the signs
To let you know
You’ll never be alone
You’ll never be alone
Sometimes life is an ocean
We’re just trying to flow
We get caught in slow motion
From the undertow
Sometimes the path to choose
Is right in front of you
You just gotta let go
I’m the street lights that guide you home
I’ll be the G.P.S when you’ve lost your phone
I’ll be the song that’s rockin’ in your headphones
I’ll show you the signs
To let you know
(You’ll never be alone)
I’m the street lights that guide you home
I’ll be the G.P.S when you’ve lost your phone
I’ll be the song that’s rockin’ in your headphones
I’ll show you the signs
To let you know
You’ll never be alone
You’ll never be alone
And now the video. Seeing the folks dancing in regular clothing, nothing scandalous, nothing low cut warms me up inside. Reminds me of a post from Michael Hyatt’s Intentional Leadership blog, Whatever Happened to Modesty. Great message to send to our youth. That’s what I call keepin’ it real. Real tasteful, real respectful, real disciplined.
Enjoy!
