  • Why is everyone cussing and arguing? Thats not why this song was written....

  • @livierae95 Actually Blake covered it, dumbass.

  • @RaisedOutlaw18 I'm sooooo with you

  • @poohbears1996 Not 100% true Dave wrote it about the ups and downs in a relationship but if u keep god in the center Of it it gets stronger. I knew about Dave from all my children. I knew about blakes version 3 mo ago.

  • @mlndfux0r I agree with you. Religion is not sincere, peaceful or good. Religion causes racism, hate and homophobia. It has no business in our government or schools but for some reason still plays a fucking small role there. Fuck fairytales!

  • @melovetorun , people aren't homophobic, racist, and hateful because of the bible, that is just the excuse they hide behind. Most people in Japan don't believe in a "holy book" and there's still those type of people there. It sucks but that is life.

  • FUCK JESUS! DOWN WITH THA GOVT!

  • This song has really help me change me from the husband I was to the husband I'm trying to be :,)

  • I cannot finish the song without feeling angry and sad.

  • This song really is saddening for me because it became popular in a crap time.

  • This is the Original Version. It has more feeling than the Country Version so I like it better than Blake Shelton's song.

  • Beautiful song!!!

  • Ha!!! it's so funny how some people are arguing over who wrote the song while others are writing heart felt notes to the people who have dumped them in the middle :)

    Blake wrote the song!!

    Oh Jake I love you so much babe

    No u frickin retard Dave did!

  • livierae95 couldn't have been more wrong if they tried

  • I prefer Blake's version, but this is still really good. To each there own.

  • @TranswarpXL totally agree!

  • Comment removed

  • Best song ever! 

  • beautiful sooonnngfg

  • Best song ever :)

  • blakes is definately better, dave's sings too "breathly" idk

    

  • I know Dave made it famous on christian radio. My point was that Blake made it famous on the big stage. More people listen to country then christian.

  • God gave me everything

  • This is an AMAZING song i loves it :D

  • Actually, Dave wrote this. Blake made it famous. I had never heard of it until Blake covered it.

  • @drumline1118 Wrong. Dave made it famous on Christian radio. That's where Blake heard it. No joke.

  • I Love your Music!!! <3

  • I love the song!! I heard Daves' version first but I also like Blakes' version.

  • blake shelton actually wrote this song. this version is nominated for a grammy and blake shelton is listed as the writer, so you have to give them both credit. blake wrote it and dave made it famous. everybody wins...

  • @livierae95 Actually, just to clarify, Dave Barnes wrote the song. The recordings themselves, Dave's or Blake's, were not nominated.

  • @livierae95 from wikipedia: ""God Gave Me You" is the title of a song written and recorded by American contemporary Christian music singer Dave Barnes" "In 2011, country music singer Blake Shelton covered the song for his album Red River Blue. It was released in July 2011 as the second single from this album. Shelton heard Barnes' version of the song on a contemporary Christian station, and said that it inspired him to propose to then-girlfriend Miranda Lambert"

  • Hearts live in minds forever..... don't break it.

    -dolphinpower01

  • Favorite version :) -3

  • To my very last reason to belive in true love, [You know who you are] Do 'nt ever forget you are the reason I now do'nt trust fate . I miss you and hope you're happy .

  • @amber9409 there is someone out there for everywhere ur only 17 u have a life a head of you you just got to dream u can and never say u cant

  • Guys are jerks anyway, I am 17 & never had a boyfriend so I would know.

  • Blakes is better!!

  • @Amber9409 Guys love confidence. And trust me, its not easy to get, but there ARE guys who like you for your personality, they're not all idiots. But if all you are doing is bringing yourself down, no guy will see how amazing you are because you're assuming all guys are the same. Just be nice to yourself, and dont give a shit what other people think because as Dr. Seus said -- "Be who you are and say what you feel, cause those who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind." :)

  • I love this song. It reminds me of my Beautiful Wife.Thank U Lord

    

  • God Gave Me You For The Ups And Downs

    God Gave Me You For The Days Of Doubt

    Oh When I Think I've Lost My Way

    There Are No Words Here Left To Say.

    It's True...

    God Gave Me You.. (:

  • WOW I love this song and I'm not even married yet!!!

  • Dave's is SOOO much better! I love Blake Shelton and all, but Dave's is my favorite (:

  • Cool song

  • This song is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They both did an amazing job. Daves version is about god and religion and blakes is about his marriage and if blake never sang this song a lot of people who never know about dave and this song.Give them both credit! :D

    <3

  • I Thought Blake Shelton Singed It

  • @paideguinha he did a caver of this song Dave Barnes did it first

  • thumbs up if the suite life on deck lead you here.

  • As a songwriter in Nashville I must agree with drummer hopeful...its definitely martyr...sweetheart would be totally out of place and inconsistent with the rest of the verse. David wouldn't make that type of mistake.

  • @annes999 if he said sweetheart that line wouldn't add up...i love you sweetheart and I'll be the flattered fool? sorry but it's martyr

  • BLAKE HIT NUMBER ONE WITH THIS SONG TODAY!!!!

  • go to on youtube typ in acnana02

  • Dave Barnes' version is the ORIGINAL version!

  • @Vanguard117 Ikr! It gets on my nerves tht Blake's version has wayy more views than this, and his version sucks!

  • i dont like country music but i LOOVE this song so its nice to hear this instead of blake shelton...hes a great singer and all but i just like it with a little bit less of that country twang if you know what i mean

  • your version is the best of all

  • This version is better than Blake Shelton's. Don't get me wrong Blake Shelton is a damn good singer, but Dave's voice fits this song better.

  • Blake sheltons is better. But this is still amazing

  • Country version is only popular cause well its country. When this song came out not many people knew about it till the country version came out and every dedicates it to anyone that comes along :/

  • That you, an angel lovely

    Could somehow fall for me

    You'll always be loves great martyr

    got these lyrics from web?

  • just learned how to play this on guitar, now I need to learn how to sing lol

  • it's amazing how one person gets the lyrics wrong and everyone else follows without actually listening closely for themselves: it's not "love's great martyr" I don't know why anyone is hearing it that way, really listen close, he's saying "you'll always be loved sweetheart"

  • AWESOME!!

  • i love this song. but i just dont get the line "you'll always be loves great martyr"

  • @seouljah4yu because everyone gets the lyrics wrong: it's "you'll always be loved sweetheart" listen real close, there's no grr sound or m sound at all,it's youll always be LOVED SWEETHEART, it seems everyone who makes these ilyric videos always manage to get something wrong

  • Comment removed

  • @blondeshortie772 So have I , there's no great or m sound in it

  • @annes999 Hahaha yes there is. You don't say grreat like Tony The Tiger. I've looked it up several times. I doubt the majority of people get it wrong. But, possibly I'm wrong or it could be sung both ways. Who knows.

  • @blondeshortie772 No there isn't my hearing is very sharp, it's a soft s sound and h sound, it's just his southern accent gives heart an extra syllable that doesn't exist, It's just how you are interpreting it

    

  • @blondeshortie772 also he says heart and and so close together it sounds like one word, you'll always be loved sweet heart and I'll be the flattered fool

  • @annes999 I can't convince you and you can't convince me. Main point is that it's an amazing song, no matter what that one line is haha.

  • @blondeshortie772 true :)

  • @annes999 he says- you'll always be love's great martyr and Ill be the flattered fool.

  • @hiyallmynameisjeff No he does NOT

  • Comment removed

  • how real love should be... Obessed with this song and this verison<3

  • Like If you think Dave Barnes ORIGINAL VERSION is better than Blake's COVER.

  • @Yankeegal567 ent i loveee thiss version

  • Dave barne's version is better

  • This song is perfect, and this version is wayyy better than Blake Shelton.

    It's because of this song that my fiance and I are still together through everything we've already been put through, and it's helped her keep her faith through everything she's been put through, and it's going to be our first dance song

    Thank you Dave Barnes

  • i wish blake's voice went well with this song, but it's just not as good as the original!! (:

  • blake sheltons version is better

  • like this if you think blake sheltons version is 100 X better

  • i think i like this version better. something about a song that was wrote and sung by the same guy , copies are never as good, as much as i love country

  • @MrSaxophonePerson I have, he's pretty boring

  • both versions are good, idk why yall are hatin blakes version

  • Beautiful song. Love it so much. Thanks for sharing.

  • love his voice!!! :)

  • I love this version better than Blake Sheltons cover but I live Christian music more than country great song for anyone tho glad ppl who aren't into "church music" can enjoy blakes version

  • Uh Dave wrote the tune. Blake just covered it.

  • Blake shelton sings this song not who ever this is0.o

  • @MEGAGYRL13 umm no Blake just covered is. Dave Wrote it

  • @MEGAGYRL13 uhhhh actually Dave wrote this and sang it first awhile back, blake just did a cover of it...

  • @WhoaMonstuh well blake shelton's is on the radio, and hes more famous:)

  • @dylanparks2 i know. lol

  • I'm not a religious person but I think this song holds deep meaning for me even though I am atheist...does that sound strange?

  • @drummerhopeful Nah. Atheist or not, music is music. It can affect all. You dont gotta be Christian to feel Christian music. You just gotta have a heart,

  • @MusicMajor1992 Lol "country twangg" I like that ;)

  • i love this song

  • Attn kids I heard this song on a soap. Amc Jake n amanda pre wedding. And Blake is good but Dave= best!

  • @Animefreak91990 i agree, i've listened to both versions & their both wonderful! personally i favour blakes version more just cause i've fallen in love with how he sings the chorus but i agree that this version is equally amazing! <3 i think its just the lyrics thats make this song :)

  • Why do we have to say which is better...This a amazing song, and i think anyone singing it will sound good.

  • Personally, Dave Barnes' version is better. Don't get me wrong, I love country music and I love Blake Shelton. But I liked this song before Shelton did the cover, and I think Barnes' does it a lot better.

  • I love Blake Shelton & all... but this version is definitely a LOT better :)

  • Both versions are good but Blake sings it much more passionately. You can tell that he truly feels what he's singing.

  • @Lexxieable Not compared to Dave Barnes, nothings better than the origionals.. Blake just sings it with a country twangg

  • Must say I like this version better.

  • Best version. Sorry blake not even close!

  • Blake's is much better!

  • This song was made by Blake Shelton

  • @TheShelbyedwards Dave Barnes wrote the song, Blake Shelton simply covered it

  • @TheShelbyedwards, clearly sense ya know Dave Banes had this song done almost two years ago and Blake Shelton just came out with it..... make sense to me too. Shelton just got the publicity for it.

  • @kentuckymxer22 and Shelton sings it better!

  • This song made it's way into my heart. It reminds me so much of my boyfriend. the line where it says "We are stitched together" is literally true. We spend every second of every day talking to eachother. People ask me "why him?" and i never have an answer cuz' i seriously dont know how i ended up with such a great guy. He's my heart and soul <3 I'd do anything for him <3 He's my best friend. It's really cheesy but it's true <3

  • im not slamming dave but i like the blake version better

  • i luv this song!!!!!!

  • @PowerxOfxPinesol Dave barnes wrote it...nuff said

  • When did they play it on the suite life on deck? At prom?

  • @SquidlyJonas yep! it was playing in the background during a talking scene

  • @SquidlyJonas I gained a new respect for the Disney Channel the day I heard it!

  • It's how real love should be. Being there thru ALL the ups & downs. To hang in when crap hits the fan . No jump and run when it seems tough. I've been married for over 29yrs. Not easy but it really does get better.

  • So much better than Blake Shelton's version!

  • When someone wrote this sogn the wrote it about me with out knowing me It just shows how Great our God is when we need something to light the way he sends it Thank you to who ever wrote it and to Dave Barnes for sang it praise the Lord

  • Marissab32 what episode of suite life was it

  • If it was before, I'd give this song to my crush.

    But you know what? I'm going to dedicate this song to my very best friend.

    She's the one who've been with me through ups and downs, and really, god gave me her.

    Crushes come and go, but best friends will stay by your side forever. I sent this song to her and she was very touched. :)

  • Are god is awesome

  • Oh my. I LOVE this song! GOD is awesome!! =) <3

  • Blake Shelton is a way better Singer than this guy!

  • @aeady2012 I have to respectfully disagree. I prefer this version. But Blake is also an amazing singer.

  • @soul416 I just wanted to tell u that I love you. And so does god. You may not believe in him but he believes in you. You can take this for what you want but I don't want to have a "religous debate" if u would like to say something ill be all ears but please be respectful.

  • it was ob sut

  • my daughters wedding song

  • hey soul whatever...guess what, God created you and he does love you no matter what. Even if you don't believe in him, he is all around. If you believe in Scientology..ok great for you, if you knew this song was going to be about God..why did you listen to it? Don't even bother watching it if you know your going to hate it.

  • Comment removed

  • My sister's ex sent this song to her. This was their song. After they broke up, I never heard it again...until The Suite Life on Deck. I looked it up again, and now I can't get it out of my head :)

  • episode*

  • is it weird i only looked up this song because it came in the prom episide of the suite life of zack & cody/on deck ? ;)

  • This is a wonderful declaration.... Yeah! It is amazing! I loved this song!! s2

  • I heard this song on suite life on deck the prom episode and i fell in love with it! so perfect!

  • My most humble gratitude for all those in MY experience for whom this song was made (:

  • why r people putting negative comments about this song if u dnt like it dnt listne to it

  • this song is so amazing <3

  • -3 this song!

  • GOD IS IMAGINARY DOTCOM

  • Soul416 I strongly disagree with the comments you have been making. Religion is a choice and it's something you believe. I am Christian and I do believe in God but you don't need to be going around hating on other religion's and telling them they're wrong. You believe in science and that's fine just don't hate on Christianity please. It just causes unnecessary fights.

  • Xnjs

  • I think that this deserted land...I'm sorry, but with no more post I will no longer write here. Its falling on deaf eyes and ears, goodbye.

  • Give to THE CHRIST your love, as He has given you His GRACE. Give to THE FATHER your devotion,as He has given you His SACRIFICE. Love those who deny HIM, because "reason" is the fine line between the two.

    Reason is the "free will" that is given...FAITH in HIM is the separation between the SAVED and the MISGUIDED,

    Teach what you were given of HIM whom is JESUS THE CHRIST, not argue or get offended. We CANT save all, that's up to OUR Master. Blessed to YOU all!!

    JESUS loves us ALL!!!

  • You love our Lord as do I, Its not our place to get defensive over Him. When you get upset, because you are challenged over our faith, just take a breath, we were given that blessed breath....and try to give your love, not anger, and Your knowledge of the Voice of Truth,its what God asks of you, please give inspiration not misguided," want"..We are messengers, not deciders.

    Give to God, not to our own spirits, its His will unto others, not our own,thats all that matters.

  • it would be wonderful if we could not get upset over something that is to be presented as greatness, loyalist of JESUS, its not our place to get mad with those who do not agree with us...please??

  • I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho...it's in the northern panhandle of Idaho zip code 83814 look itup,its a nice place.

  • I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho...it's in the northern panhandle of Idaho

  • I love this song. <3

  • @SOUL416 OTHERWISE U WOULDNT HAVE MADE THAT DUMB MORANIC STATEMENT NOT ONLY AM I A CHRISTIAN AND KNOW ITS NOTHING ABOUT SCINCE BUT TRUTH I AM A PASTORS DAUGHTER MAYBE IF U OPENED UR BIBLE A LITTLE MORE YOU WOULD KNOW THATS NOT MY OPINON THATS A DAMN FACT THEN AGAIN YOU MAY NOT OWN A BIBLE IN WHICH CASE I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!!! JESUS IS THE BEST FRIEND ANY OF US COULD EVER HAVE THIS SONG U COMMENTED SO RUDELY ON IS TRUE SO GET OVER IT MOVE ON AND IF U CANT SPEAK NICELY THEN DONT AT ALL!!!

  • Why would you let these ones get to you in this way? You don't have to convince them to convince yourself.When you speak your feelings for our Lord and Savior,there will always be others looking to shun you down because they won't find the Truth as we here have.Getting angry with them is letting them win without winning anything,I love this song, it's inspirational to me because in an indirect way,I feel closer to Jesus, as with countless other songs I find on YouTube.Don't let them get to you.

  • @savagemountain420 @savagemountain420 its not that it gets to me i am just really protective of my beliefs and when people speak out their BUTT well it just ticks me off cuz if they open the bible and then listen to this song they are both true god places people in our lifes to help us through tough times and takes them out when he feels they fufilled their purpose!!!! this song is what its all about

  • @SOUL416 FOR SOMEONE WITH THE NAME SOULD416 U SURE DONT HAVE A SOUL TO HONSTLY THINK GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH U BEING HERE HOW ELSE DO U THINK U WERE BORN JACKASS? GOD CREATED EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ADAM AND EVE? I GUESS NOT

  • This song is amazing <3 I know who I'd dedicate this too..I thank God everyday for this person..

  • Moments. We just went for ice cream. Sitting in the convertible under the darkening night sky talking. This song comes on. We both looked at each other and smiled. Moments. =~)
