Thursday Tunes

Thursday Tunes is a weekly event hosted by S. Krishna, devoted to sharing the music we love.
S. Krishna usually features a new artist each week - just to be different, I'm going to focus on a specific song, because it's the song that hooks me. There are very few artists whose entire body of work is in my MP3 player, but I have thousands of songs I love.


Well, my "songs from Elizabeth's wedding" series has come to a screeching halt, since I can't find anymore songs to post. Apparently, my taste differs from that of the general public. =)

So instead, today I'm going to share a song by one of my favorite artists you've probably never heard of, Geoff Moore. I can tell you exactly what was happening in my life when each of his albums was released. His songs have been with me through all of the important events in my life. His beautiful song, "With You", was sung at my wedding. Also, he sang "God Blessed the Broken Road" BEFORE Rascal Flatts, and Carrie Underwood, and others stole it - and, personally, I like his version the best.

So, today, for your listening pleasure, I present "God Blessed the Broken Road" by Geoff Moore.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to You

That every long lost dream
Led me to where You are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into Your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to You

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have them back again
And give them all to You
But You just smile and take my hand
You've been there and You understand
It's all part of a grander plan
That is coming true

That every long lost dream
Led me to where You are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into You loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to You
Now I keep rolling on into Your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to You
