Desert Island Discs.....

When I was a teenager, our church youth fellowship, sometimes held a Desert Island Disc Evening. It was here that each person had to bring a song that they would take with them to a Desert Island. The song was  recorded  unto a cassette tape (I´m showing my age here! haha) and it was played at the meeting. Each person would then explain why they had chosen that particular song to take with them. I used to LOVE these evenings.


Well, today I heard a song that I thought was so beautiful and I automatically thought "I would play that song at a Desert Island Disc Evening." Then reality quickly hit and I realised I was not 18 and didn´t go to any Desert Isalnd Disc meetings anymore!! 


The song is called "Golden"  and sung by good old Cliff Richard. It is a song he had written as a thank you to his fans for his 50 years in show business, hence the name "Golden"


But I thought the words were just beautiful. Words that a husband could say to a wife, or vice versa. (Kristian, have a listen to the words, it´s a wee message from me to you!) But as I listened to them today, I also thought that they could be words that I myself could say to God. Words of thanks to Him for standing by my side, for always being there for me. For always having open arms to me, for blessing me....and I could go on.  I just thought it was a beautiful song. 

Love affairs, don´t always last forever.
Like flowers in the rain they fade and die.
But you and I stood side by side,
through the storms together,
because of you, I kept my dream alive.
And love has been the song upon my heart
through all these years.
And I have lived a life that has been blessed,
through laughter and through tears.
And as the seasons change,
one thing remains the same,
you´ve always been right there with arms wide open.
You're the treasure in my soul,
and I will never let you go,
a love affair, that never will be broken.
You have been golden.


Destiny has brought me to this moment.
I stand before you now with no regret.
What a chance to thank you for the memories,
you´ve given me a life that's filled with happiness.
And love has been the song upon my heart,
through all these years.
And I have lived a life that has been blessed,
through laughter and through tears.
And as the seasons change, one thing remains the same.
You have always been right there with arms wide open.
You´re the treasure in my soul,
and I will never let you go
a love affair that never will be broken.
You have been golden


And as the seasons change, one thing remains the same.
You have always been right there with arms wide open.
You´re the treasure in my soul,
and i will never let you go,
you gave me life,
you gave me strength,
and throughout the years, 
you have been golden.
