Something Beautiful

[olde_fashioned]

This song is called Something Beautiful by the Newsboys. I haven't heard a song I liked this much in a long time. It's upbeat, fun, and touching. I suspect it's a song about waiting for true love and saving yourself for your wedding day. The lyrics are so sweet!

Newsboys - Something Beautiful Lyrics

I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
I want a new a new beginning
One without any end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

I've heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I've felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

It's the child on her wedding day
It's the daddy that gives her away--Father
Something beautiful
When we laugh so hard we cry
It's the love between you and I
Something beautiful

I googled Wait For Me and I found the video on youtube.I agree,it's a great song.I was also able to find the lyrics.It's like Something Beautiful-waiting for true love.Rebecca St James also wrote a book called Wait For Me.

The YLCF is Young Ladies Christian Fellowship.The website is www.ylcf.org There are articles posted by several writers and they have a section of quotes and courtship stories.

On a another LJ I found the website www.oldchristianradio.com

Not many males watch Jane Austen, so I understand you might of assumed I was a female.Or, as some bloggers say,it was a "Blonde Moment" *smile*

I'm glad you took the time to look it up -- it's become almost a craze now, and almost a marketing ploy since others have taken her idea and run away with it, but I still think it's wonderful. I respect her tremendously for it.

Thank you for the link. I recognize the courtship page from once before, so I guess I just didn't realize they were the same group. I love sites like that and there are precious few of them.

That's true! My brother does, but that's probably because he couldn't avoid them even if he wished to, the rate I go. ;-P I've even managed to get him to read P&P! But I hope you weren't offended, since I'm sure I wouldn't know what to think if someone believed I was a man.

Blonde Moment, yes indeed! But I'm not a blonde, so hopefully I won't have very many more of them. :-)

Wait For Me reminds me of the song Waiting For My Dearie from Brigadoon.

I wasn't offened by what you thought.Since most of your readers are female and my comments were general ones, it would make sense for you to think I was a female.

You should be pretty safe since your not a blonde. :-)

Yet another topic upon which I am ignorant! Who is Brigadoon?

Good! Thanks for being so forgiving.

That's good to know! ;-P I'd much rather have darker hair, or even red.

Brigadoon is a 1954 musical with Gene Kelly.I haven't seen it but I have heard the soundtrack from the library.Here are the lyric's to Waiting For My Dearie:

"Many a lassie,as eveyone knows,will
try to be married before twent-five.
So,she'll agree to most any proposal,
All he must be is a man and alive.

I hold a dream,and there's no compromising,
I know there's one certain laddie for me.
One day he'll come,walking over the horizon.
But should he not,than an old maid I'll be.

Foolish,you may say.Foolish I will stay.
Waiting for my dearie,and happy am I,
To hold my heart till he comes strolling by.
When he comes,my dearie,one look and I'll know,
That he's the dearie I've been wanting so.
Though I live forty lives till the day he arrives,
I'll not ever,ever grieve.
For my hopes will be high,that he'll come strolling by,
For you see,I believe.
That there's a laddie weary,and wandering free,
Who's waiting for his dearie,Me!"

I found the song in a blog post I came across.

I agree that red hair beats blonde hair!

What a cute song! Thanks for the lyrics. I don't watch many musicals so that'd explain why I've never heard of it. I do like the Sound of Music, though, hence the header text. ;-)

Does that mean *you* have red hair? *grin*

[robertinbc.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched too many musicals.I like The Sound of Music-I thought your header text was from that movie.I also like Fiddler on the Roof.It has good music-My favorite songs are Sunrise,Sunset and Far from The Home I Love.

My hair is brown.I prefer red(or brown)hair over blonde hair :-) though many would disagree.The YLCF has a section of quotes on red hair and freckles.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I've never seen FotR. Like I said, I don't really care for musicals. I much prefer costume dramas!

You like Jane Austen. Have you seen the Kate Beckinsale/Mark Strong Emma yet? (KB is in my icon)

Blondes may have more fun, but redheads are remembered! ;-P (I did a few redheaded icons; if you want to see they're under the "redheads" tag)

[robertinbc.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen either Emma yet.I want to see the movie as I have read about it on some blogs.From what I've read,the Kate Beckinsale version is the better one.Do you prefer that one? That's a nice icon.

That's a true quote! I took the number 19 redhead icon.Have you seen the Anne of Green Gables films?

I noticed that you have done several 1995 Pride and Prejudice icons.I will look through them and let you know which one's I take.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You're correct -- the Kate Beckinsale version is by far truer to the book, and both casting and acting are better IMO. Yes, I prefer that one! ;-)

I love Anne of Green Gables!

Okay -- thank you!
