LYRICS

I will always love you how I do
Let go of a prayer for you
It's a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
But still you'll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory, glory, glory
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind

Frank Ocean should reply with a 'Too precious' cover

[boiled_egg]

i want this at my wedding or at my funeral, whatever comes first

[lisalove]

For my son and husband they are with Jesus now❤🙏

[feliciajames]

The first time I heard this version, it took my breath away. So beautiful. Reminds me of how my dad felt about my mom when he finally decided to give her the divorce she wanted after 20 years of marriage. But he never stopped loving her. He was always there for her til the day he passed away. His love was forever.

[kristinarush]

I didn't know what the word 'godspeed' meant before listening to this song on repeat. After many times of listening to and reciting this song, I'd decided to look up the definition. Godspeed is an expression of good wishes to a person starting a journey. I often think of this song. It's essentially the song that forever remains on my heart. I feel as though its God speaking to me, wishing me well on the next journey of the day and reminding me that his love sustains even through the toughest times. Thank you, James. Godspeed.

FYI this isn’t a total cover as James co-wrote the original with Frank Ocean

[Verse]
I will always love you
How I do
I let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
Still you'll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory
Glory, glory

[Outro]
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind

if this doesnt play at my funeral im not dying

[elenab]

To my Daddy who passed away three days ago, I will always love you RB, you are the best Dad I could ever have in the whole universe in all times❤ Always your girl.

[HallofGame]

Jams Blake is in a league of his own at this point.

[WWPTE]

This song absolutely guts me. I think of my brother that died in December 2019. He was one of the first victims of Covid-19 in the US.

[adamcvik]

Obviously, James's singing on this track is phenomenal, but I'm blown away by his piano playing as well. Those bass notes he plays at 2:22 and sustains throughout the rest of the song are brilliant; they add this cacophony and darkness that wasn't on the original. It adds a whole different dynamic to the song.

[Awnikamurra]

I am praying for unity with my family. Let God's love be magnified ❤🎉 ❤
Pray for peace and restoration in Jesus Christ Holy name, Amen 🙏

[zacsmith]

My children’s mother left me a couple of weeks ago and I’m hurting because she was the love of my life. Never take for granted what you have and live in the moment.

[barbarianking]

James gave us another version of Godspeed as if we haven't cried enough
