DC Talk - Godsend Lyrics
Lyrics
Hoping, praying, I've been waiting
Everybody needs somebody to love
There's no question, straight from heaven
You're my angel, I'm so crazy for you
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend
Holding your hand, touching your face
I will love you now and always I swear
I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds collided and I found my best friend
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend
(bridge)
I was made for you, you were made for me
In this lonely world, we were meant to be in love
I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds, they crashed in
And I found my best friend
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend

Meaning & Inspiration
"Godsend," a standout track from DC Talk's 1998 album *Supernatural*, offers a profound exploration of divine providence within human relationships. While the lyrics might initially seem to describe a secular romance, a deeper dive, illuminated by Scripture, reveals a message of God orchestrating connections that profoundly impact our lives. The song's narrative begins with a sense of anticipation and longing for companionship, acknowledging a universal human need for love. The repeated assertion that the object of affection is "a blessing from above" and "God-sent" directly echoes biblical themes of God’s active involvement in our lives. This isn't merely a poetic flourish; it’s a theological statement. Consider Proverbs 18:22, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." The lyrics speak to that profound sense of finding not just a partner, but a gift, a provision sent by a loving Creator. The mention of "two worlds collided" and finding a "best friend" can be interpreted as the alignment of two lives under God's sovereign hand, fostering a connection that transcends mere chance. This resonates with the biblical idea that God orders our steps, as stated in Psalm 37:23: "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every aspect of their lives." The song’s bridge, "I was made for you, you were made for me," while sounding entirely romantic, can also be understood through the lens of divine design. Ephesians 2:10 beautifully articulates this concept: "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." This implies that even our deepest relational connections can be part of God's preordained plan for our fulfillment and purpose. The enduring promise to "love you now and always" speaks to a commitment that, when rooted in Christ, mirrors the steadfast love God has for His people, as described in Jeremiah 31:3: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." Ultimately, "Godsend" is a powerful reminder that the most meaningful relationships are not accidental but are often divine appointments, blessings that enrich our earthly journey and point us toward the Creator.
