'Blessing' Sung by RJ Helton

This is simply AMAZING. If you know some one that is gay you know the struggles they go though every single day, but to go though struggles with the parents that raised them it makes things just THAT much harder. You parents are supposed to love and support you NO MATTER what you do or are. I am in tears after hearing this song and knew that I just had to share it with anyone that reads or comes across this blog.

If you know me personally you know this hits VERY close to home. I have a gay brother that struggled for YEARS about whether to come out to his family or not. I was the first person that he told and to this day I feel so very lucky that he trusted me enough to come to me and tell me. I love him more then words could ever describe. When every I think that I am lost, or that things are so bad, I look at him and think of the things he has been though and going though and it makes me step back and know that I can over come ANYTHING because he can. He is amazing and one day I can only hope that he gets all the rights he is supposed to have as a gay man. Love is love people, GET OVER IT!

I'm taking back my allegations
I misdirected my life
I've changed, I'm a different man
How our love ain't right
But I only wish, you would understand
How our love is exactly, what God has planned
Just try to remember...

That I'm still your baby, your blood, have your eyes, have your smile,
I'm sorry this hurts you, I'm sorry this numbs you
But I'm not ashamed of this fire I've inflamed
I was given this gift to love from heavens hands
Don't abandon me now for loving another man
All i ask is in time, you'll give me your blessing

I know deep down you love me, I could use that love right now
I know time heals the hurting, I just hope you come around
Cause I'm finally proud to state who i am
You close-minded thoughts won't leave me condemned
And im sorry this hurts you...

But I'm still your baby, your blood, have your eyes, have your smile,
Nothing has changed here, I'm still the same
You taught me to love with my heart, I still do
I was given this gift to love from heavens hands
And i know this is not the life you have planned
But i ask that in time, you'll give me your blessing

Oooo...

Cause I couldnt remain living inside this lie,
Every day that I do more and more of me dies
I'm just here to remind you
That I'm still your baby, your blood, have your eyes, have your smile,
I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry your wounded
But I'm not ashamed of this fire I've inflamed
I was living this life for somebody else,
Now this is my chance to live it for myself
All i ask is in time, you give me your blessing

Give your blessing

Your blessing
