Diamond, Neil - The Good Lord Loves You Lyrics






I'm singing this song
For the men in your prisons and jails
The junkies and juicers
And every good man that fails
And for every outlaw
Who's got no place left to go
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

And I'm singing this song
For the leaders of every land
For every political
And every military man
And for every mother and child
In their kingdoms below
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

I'm singing this song
With a feeling that's deep in my heart
And I wish that I could tear down
The walls that keep us apart
And I wish I could tear down
The walls so the feelings could grow
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord Loves You
The Good Lord
He loves you so

Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

    This is the first time I've heard this song. There was a time when I strayed away and missed a few albums. Unfortunately for me.
    His music and lyrics and your talent are a perfect marriage.

    S.... J....

    Thanks for your comments Suzanne. Not to worry, you may have strayed off the golden path on to the brambled one. The main thing is that you're back. Lot of catching up.

    Just love, love, love, your observation: _"His music and lyrics and your talent are a perfect marriage."_ So much so that I am tempted to plagiarise it for use on our website. 8-)

    Always loved this song.Although not his composition he sings it like he feels it in his talented way!

  18. c.... ....

    Thank you for this song and video compilation. Definitely one of my favorite Neil Diamond songs off his September Morn album, along with 'That Kind'. Your picture clips are especially insightful considering the World today and all the many problems we face and see reported in the News. And, one of your final clips with the auditorium filled with kids of every size, race, age and sex. Incredible. So, thank you again for this.

    Thanks very much for your kind comments, I am truly appreciative. Though composed in 1979 the sentiments therein are sadly current today, some 30 plus years later. A sad indictment on humanity. I sought to emphasize this by applying current issues to this great song. The image of the kids in the auditorium was a deliberate inclusion to highlight the need for humankind to learn to co-exist in peace.

    We choose to ignore the words of the wise philosopher George Santayana at our own peril - “Those who cannot
    remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” or Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

    I hope you will give consideration to subscribing to my channel. Best wishes, Doug

    Hi Fond,
    The Good Lord Loves You, as featured on Neil's September Morn album,

    It carries a very powerful message, The video you have compiled conveys that message beautifully, the images are very thought provoking, and make us reflect on what is really important in our lives, as we try and put aside our differences, man has committed some of the most abhorrent atrocities imaginable, and yet our spirit and desire to do good in the world is as indomitable as ever, great upload.

    D.... R....

    @Dave Radstock Thanks very much for your comments Dave; as always, I value and appreciate them. This song is applicable now as when it was composed by Richard Fagan in 1979. In our quest for justice and decency we need to reach out and educate those who are less inclined. This song has indeed a potent message for mankind; one we dismiss at our own peril.

  20. M.... D....

    great song from an under-rated album

    M.... D....

    @Michael Daniels I agree. Neil collaborated with some of the greats on this album, they included Gilbert Bécaud,
    Carole Bayer Sager, Richard Fagan, Marvin Gaye and Bob Gaudio to name a few.

  21. A.... V....

    Very good! What a message! POWERFUL!

    A.... V....

    @Angela Vangelisto Thanks very much Angela, truly appreciative. As always, a powerful song from Neil and Richard Fagan as they dig deep in an attempt to contemplate the follies of humankind; so loved by God, yet so preoccupied with the propensity to seek and highlight our differences rather than similarities.  God's children, all.
