Rihanna - We Found Love





Everyone is looking for love. When we do find love, it is worth singing about as Rihanna does so well.
But what does true love look like ?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not 
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It 
is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
 easily angered, it keeps no record of 
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but 
rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always per-
severs. 
   Love never fails.  

Just as Rihanna sings, sometimes it is when we hit rock bottom in that 'hopeless' place, that we realise what is important, and who is important.


WE FOUND LOVE - RIHANNA (feat. Calvin Harris)


It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed
That someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you
And when it's over, and it's gone
You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Shine a light through an open door
Love a life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It’s the way I’m feeling I just can’t deny
But I’ve gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Yellow diamonds in the light
Now we’re standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

David Guetta - Without You Featuring Usher





David Guetta and Usher may not intend this song to be about someone declaring their dependance on God, and a desire to be with God, rather than without, but regardless of their intention, I redeem this song as a modern day hymn.

The famous songwriter of the ancient world, the legendary King David, often wrote of his desire to be in the presence of God.
'One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek:  that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life.' Psalm 27:4

He also pleads with God, not to forsake or reject him. 'Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.' Psalm 27:9

Success is no success, if we are doing it without God.

Moses also acknowledged his desire not to do anything apart from God.
'If you Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? Exodus 33:15,16

DAVID GUETTA LYRICS


"Without You"
(feat. Usher)

I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you

I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I,
Without you, without you

Oh oh oh!
You! You! You!
Without...
You! You! You!
Without...you

Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you

I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you, without you

Oh oh oh!
You! You! You!
Without...
You! You! You!
Without...you

I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
Without...you
