Country Music And Broken Relationships


OK – if you know me at all, have read my blogs for any length of time, or attend here at Grace Church, you know that I really do not like country music. But this Sunday as part of our Face Your Fears message series we are talking about the fear of broken relationships. So, what better style of music for this topic than country? After all, country music is all about one thing, right? It is all about broken relationships as seen in some of these country song titles:

I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well
I Want A Beer As Cold As My Ex-Wife’s Heart
I Would Have Wrote You A Letter But I Couldn’t Spell Yuck
She Got The Coal Mine I Got The Shaft
Would You Like Fries With That (the divorce song)
Jesus Loves You But I Don’t
How Can I Miss You If You Won’t Go Away
I Keep Forgetting I Forgot About You
I Still Miss You Baby But My Aim Is Getting Better

So this Sunday one of our very talented vocalists who is all about country music and even has the “country twang” down real well, will be singing Rascal Flatts' song, “To Make Her Love Me.” It is a song about a man who has gone through a broken relationship and is asking God to make her fall in love with him again. I don’t like country music, but this song will set the topic up nicely as we look at what the Bible says about facing the fear of broken relationships. Below are the lyrics to the Rascal Flatts’ song:

You waved your hand and it was done
So let it be and there it was
A mountain, so high, it broke through, the sky
A canyon, so deep, it'll bring a man to his knees

I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard Could it be, To make her love me?

I've said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win her back
I'm human, I messed up, Is she gone? Are we done?
Forgiveness, another chance, that's all I want, it's in your hands

I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard Could it be, To make her love me?
