Jennifer Hudson Pulled Me Through

I’m not a fan of awards shows, but I was interested enough in the Grammy Awards to record last night’s broadcast. As I was fast forwarding, I’m so glad I stopped and heard Jennifer Hudson’s performance. To me, it was a once in a lifetime event. What this young woman has been through this past year would devastate even the strongest of souls. Our Dreamgirl Jennifer brought down the house singing “You Pulled Me Through.” At the end of the song, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was truly inspirational. Next time I feel life getting me down, I’m playing this video.

 

 

You Pulled Me Through
by Jennifer Hudson

I was in the darkness
I was out in the cold
Seemed nothing could heal this
This hole in my soul
You reached out your arms to me
Held out your heart to me
Pulled me back from the edge
Thought I reached the end.

 

Chorus:
When I was drowning
When I was so confused
You, you, you pulled me through
I was in the shadows
Lost, nothing left to lose.
You, you, you pulled me through.

 

You gave my faith back
Faith was so hard to find
You gave me my life back
You were my lifeline
The love that you gave me
Is love that has saved me
Your strength is what made me strong
You held me and I held on

 

[Chorus]

 

Out of the dark
Into your arms
Into the light
Your love saved my life

 

[Chorus]

 

 

 

 

 

 

On another note, The Singing Cowboy, Gene Autry was awarded a lifetime achievement award. Gene Autry is way out on a branch of my family tree. (on great grandma Pierce’s side). Did you know there is a Gene Autry, Oklahoma?
