Admittedly I don't listen to Joss Stone. Admittedly I don't know why I don't! It certainly is NOT because of her voice! Joss Stone has an incredible voice. She has a maturity to her voice that betrays her age, 24! Seriously. 24 years old and she can sing with that voice? Incredible.
My boss (and friend!), Stephanie, threw this song my way and I'm grateful. This is a GREAT song. By all accounts this song is literally about God. I don't know where Joss stands spiritually but this song is truly all about Jesus as far as I can tell! It is a remake, originally sung by Candi Staton. Candi was a gospel singer (although I have NEVER heard of her) so that explains the Jesus in this song! :) I love that Stone decided to remake it because her voice does it justice.
So, by now you know me well enough to know that I have got to point out a few things about the truths in this song. :) Well really the one overwhelming truth in this song is that God's love IS enough and can and will see you through anything. Without the love of God we would be lost. Unfortunately we take God's love for granted. We don't believe in it, we can't see our way to it through everything the world throws at us. But what we believe, or can't/don't believe, doesn't change the truth of God's love for each of us. So throw your hands up in the air but look to the love of God for it IS enough to see you through!
You Got The Love
