God Bless The Broken Road

Came across this beautiful song by Rascal Flatts... I love the melody and most of all the message.

In our lives we go through trials and pain that we sometimes tend to question life or even God. It sounds cliche, but it is true, sometimes these things happen for us to get to where we are really meant to be. Looking back, we realize that God really blessed the broken road that led us to the right path.




Bless The Broken Road
by Rascal Flatts


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
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
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 the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true


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


Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you


That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

you know bes, i read the lyrics again and this time i add some sense to my reading. hehehe

i thought the song is just about a boy-girl love, God just made me realized that the pronoun "You" actually refers to Him. try to read it again and exchange the the "You" with God's. :)

thanks for sharing it to me. kisses!
