A couple more songs about Godly love. The first one is about Godly love being addictive. It's called "Addictive Love" and it's by BeBe & CeCe Winans. This one crossed over to the R&B chart and was number one on the R&B chart for two weeks in 1991. It also won the 1992 Dove Award for Contemporary Gospel Song of the Year. My favorite line from the song is "He's taken my heart and showed me the right way".

The next one is called "His Life for Mine" and it's by The Talley Trio. It's a powerful song! My favorite lines from this one are "What love divine! He gave His life for mine!"

Breaking from my current topic temporarily to post this beautiful song from the movie "Journey to Bethlehem". The lyrics are written and sung from the point of view of Mary.

This song has "John 3:16" in the lyrics, so that means it qualifies for the topic of Godly love.

The first song I'm going to post here about Godly love is a bilingual song. It is sung partly in English and partly in Spanish. I think it's a really beautiful song. It's a duet by Sandi Patty and Miguel Angel Guerra. It's called Solo El Amor (Only Love). I love the lyrics "I've only known, once in my lifetime, love in its purest form. He came here for me, suffered and then died under a crown of thorns." So meaningful!

This next one is called "Illogical Case of Love" and it's by Janet Paschal

I'm going to post a list of the songs that I've already posted about Godly love in this thread, here, with the number of the pages they are posted on. I will be focusing on one's that actually use the word love. I will skip some like "Mercy Tree" by Lauren Talley. It is about Godly love, but it focuses on the word "Mercy" instead of "Love". I will probably do a "Mercy" topic later on. All of these are worth checking out IMO, if you have not already listened to them.

1. Only His Love by The Archers - page 1
2. To Ever Live Without Me - by Jody McBrayer - page 5
3. Love Lifted Me - by Candi Staton - page 6
4. It Must Be Love - by Babbie Mason - I just posted that one, but I just found out I had already posted this on page 6 too.
5. He Loved Me with a Cross - by Larnelle Harris - page 6
6. Love Won - by The Talleys - page 6
7. How Great His Heart Must Be - by Billy and Sarah Gaines - page 7
8. Love Is the More Excellent Way - by Babbie Mason - page 7
9. Love Lifted Me - by Sally Quick - page 9
10. Middle Man - by Brittnee Lee - page 10
11. Three Nails Instead - by The Nelons - page 12
12. Via Dolorosa - by Sandi Patty - page 12
13. The Cross - by The Crabb Family - page 15 - This one doesn't actually use the word "Love" but that's definitely what the song's about.
14. No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus - by Karla Worley - page 17

I will post some more songs about Godly love shortly.

I'm temporarily going off topic, just long enough to post this video of the wonderful Mahalia Jackson singing "Trouble of the World" in the funeral scene of the movie "Imitation of Life". This was a fabulous performance by Mahalia! I'll be back with more songs about Godly love soon.

I think now, I will start a new topic, which is Godly love. I'll start with a song by Lauren Talley called "That's What I Call Love".

And here's another song about Godly love, done in a different style, called "It Must Be Love" by Babbie Mason

I have posted the names of the songs and artists I have posted on this thread on page 12 of this thread, up to this point. It's a pretty full post, so I'm now going to start writing the rest of the songs posted on this thread in a post below, so I don't have to keep going back to page 12, and as I said, that post is pretty full now. I need these posts to remind me of what I've already posted in this thread. I just wish I knew how to properly format them so the post would look better.

I have never heard of these guys, and I am not a fan of hip-hop, Christian or otherwise, but it's nice to see them speaking up about Christian artists being ignored.

I love this! I'm so glad I found it. Edit: I found out this song was written by the legendary gospel songwriter Thomas Dorsey, who also wrote such classics as "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" and "Walk Over God's Heaven" among other songs.

^^^ John came in second, but I have no doubt in my mind that a contract for him is just around the corner. He showcased three awesome talents while on that show: singing, songwriting, and guitar playing. He'll be scooped up and signed in no time. 😄 😄 😄

God bless you and him always!!!
