Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Richard Smallwood’s gospel song, “I Love The Lord,” express an individual’s deep love and appreciation for God for hearing their cries and comforting them during their struggles. The opening line, “I love the Lord, he heard my cry,” highlights the personal relationship between the singer and God. This is followed by the assurance that God empathizes with every groan, and he will continue to do so for as long as they live. The singer acknowledges that troubles will still arise, but they hasten to God's throne, implying that seeking God during trials is the most efficient solution.

In the second verse of the song, the singer reaffirms their love for God and the gratitude they have for Him hearing their cry and empathizing with their groans. The singer recognizes the power of running to God during challenging times, which is why they hasten to His throne. The repeated phrase, “I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne,” shows the singer’s urgency and eagerness to approach God for comfort and assurance. The final verse brings the song to a climax as the singer runs to God and emphatically declares that there is nowhere else to go except to God. It ends with the affirmation of the singer's commitment to always be by God's side while celebrating their love for God.

I became filled with emotions and tears came streaming down my face. I am listening to this song February 2, 2020 because the world is in turmoil. RIP, Shebra.

Pt. 3 THIS song by Richard Smallwood is such a BEAUTIFUL, and deeply spiritual song. It is one of those RARE gospel songs that forces one to deny self, and look up, seeing Jesus on the cross. I helps a person growing in Christian grace and maturity to shout in rapturous awe: "I LOVE the Lord". So it distresses me that with THIS (and most) gospel songs on YT that the focus is on how the band sounds, or how the singers sound and great memories when the song came out. JESUS is the POINT

We are saved when we acknowledge Him as the son of God, and as the one who died on the cross for our sins. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

This is a beautiful song that provokes strong emotions. It makes us feel good inside. It draws out tears from our eyes. But how many of us truly love The Lord? The crowds followed The Lord and some even sought Him out when it came to fulfilling their needs. He fed them fish and bread. He healed their sicknesses and deceases. He forgave their sins. In all of these things they "loved The Lord." But when it came to bearing The Cross, they were not willing. When it came to dying to themselves, they were not willing. When it came to denying the world and its pleasures, they were not willing. Demonstrating what they truly thought about The Lord. Feed us, heal us, forgive us. Make us feel good inside but don't tell us how to live our lives. Don't tell us to live holy. Don't tell us to come out of the world. Just be our genii in a bottle and fulfill our wishes. I think a lot of us are moved by emotions but not by obedience. So how many of us really love the Lord? “If you love me, keep my commands......Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching." John 14. As human beings we are all pathetic hypocrites. Most of us do not truly love The Lord. How does He put up with us?

God is merciful God he knows what we can do and what we can not do. you say some of us can't give up the world but that's not it... when u lost in darkness for so long and u have no way out. God is our Refuge from the world. when you say we don't want to give up worldly possessions or of ourselves that's when God steps in no one is perfect. picking certain Bible scriptures out the Bible God said do not add or take away from the word you give encouragement to a lost soul not try to scare them away by just see the enemy knows what to use and went to use things instead of encouraging your sisters and brothers to turn to Christ not trying to make them run away from Christ that's not God is not a god of confusion all God of Miss Hat God is a god of healing yes he fed them yes he called them yes he did all that and even to this day it's still like that it is a few of us that love God and there's a few of the same God is a difference just the other day I just told somebody you are the church cuz that's what God says people pick and choose they words just because they know you got a weakness the enemy knows when to do things I can discern that so when you come up here preaching like you're preaching make sure it's the whole thing that some of it everything make sure you put out everything not just some of it listen you got your opinion you picked up scripture that that says everything but did you finish reading the rest of that and then you put your own opinion into it so you don't take and pick and choose what you want and then try to throw it out everybody because go go to hold you accountable for every word that you say out your mouth so be careful what you what you say and choose because also God will hold you accountable remember that I said my peace and I pray that you know you keep on preaching but make sure it's encouragement not to scare people away not to put people down or try to make yourself self-righteous don't do that because that it sounds self-righteous like you ain't like you never done that in your life I will ask what would Christ say at this moment if you would have read that he probably already. and I would say what would Christ say if he would have read that that paragraph that you just wrote and then put your opinion on it I said he probably would have said he without sin cast the first stone and if any man who never sinned you know the rest if you never send you can't sit here and say other people don't love the Lord you don't know what only God can only judge that you cannot say that people got struggles God knowing they struggles you can't sit there and and and down somebody with your paragraph that's it came from the word god word is firm God word is true but don't pick and choose what you want just to make yourself look good cuz that's what it looks like like I said I'm out God bless you speak encouragement

You're right. As great a singer as Whitney was, her version doesn't close to this - the vocals, the sound, the feel, just everything came together on this. Kudos to Mr. Smallwood for this wonderful arrangement. Can't be touched.

Baba Booey pls... this woman can sing!! But let’s get real. Ain’t no Whitney vocal here

@neetrab

@@DGodwithaplan2 you get real. Whitney was great, but she shoulda left this song alone. Dottie Jones made this into a masterpiece and didn't need her help at ALLLLLLL.
