Story Behind The Song
How do tell people that "God loves you" without making them gag? This is my answer.
Song Description
A Blues-y, gentle gospel break to remind you that someone up there appreciates you. Inspirational without being overt, and you can slow dance to it. The lyrics explore the different downers that everyone encounters and says simply--you are loved and appreciated. You might hear this song at a contemporary church service or at a country fair. Bonnie Raitt might sing this song!

Chorus
I want you to know that you are loved and appreciated
(repeat)
Verse 1
When you’re weary of the tragedy everywhere
When you’re hurtin’ and nobody seems to care (When you’re battered, broken, bent beyond repair)
When one taste of forgiveness would ease your despair
Chorus
Verse 2
Communication will stray away or go awry
Inspiration will betray you and run dry
And the truth you once knew will dress up like a lie
Chorus
Verse 3
When you go lookin’ to your friends or your family
Well, we’re only human and that’s the reality
Take a look deep inside you, and see what you see
Chorus
