God Gave Me You Lyrics
I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
There’s more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
And you’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
Yeah, God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
And you’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you

The song is not only about Miranda being there for Blake when he needed her it's about Miranda making him into a better person. At the time I am writing this, the two are no longer together and have both found new partners. That does not mean that they love each other any less. God gave Miranda to Blake just as God gave Blake to Miranda, they were put in each others lives to better one another and even if doing so it meant that they would divorce and no longer be together, they still both seem very happy in their new relationships.
The song was written by David Barnes and dedicated to his wife Annie. It had already become popular on christian radio and Blake heard it , loved it and had to record it.
When Blake and Miranda met they immediatley began falling in love. Blake was married and it was on the rocks. Miranda stood by Blake during the divorce and was always there for him. This song in my opinion is to Miranda saying thank you and saying hey god gave me her for a reason he gave me her for the ups and downs and stuff like that
