I played this for my husband's funeral. Met him when I was a crazy homeless 17 year old. Married at 19 for 40 years and my life was wonderful with him. He was my everything. John died 7.9.2018. Every day is another learning to live without him. I have to count my blessings, they are all due to him.
Kisah yang sangat menyentuh, cinta abadi itu ada & dibawa sampai mati... Mrs. Harmer tetap sehat tetap semangat, jalani hidupmu dengan kenangan indah bersama Almarhum Suamimu tercinta, Gbu
A very touching story, eternal love exists & is carried to death... Mrs. Harmer stay healthy keep the spirit, live your life with beautiful memories with your beloved late husband, Gbu
Thank you Jesus for being there when I needed you and saving me. ❤ I pray that everyone who reads this gets to know you and experience your love for them.
*I am a Christian but for years I lost my faith and lately I find myself suicidal. Today I woke up with hope again, and this song is helping me calm my heart. I realized that only Jesus can heal me. Thank you Jesus. The light in the darkness, that is who you are. ❤*
God does not make junk. He only makes things so special that it took Him all this time to make the best place to put you so you can be a light for the world. Now shine that light and lead people to Him.
I met my wife almost 40 years ago when I was 29, lonely and unloved. She then and throughout our 40 years together, gave me strength to carry on again and I am the person I am because of her love and friendship. A wonderful singer sung this song at our wedding. How lucky we were to meet 40 years ago and now retiring in a few months time to share another 30 years together.
This song makes me think of the Lord, who will never leave me nor forsake me! He is ever faithful, loving, forgiving, and compassionate! Praise the Lord for He is good!
I first heard this song in NC. Years later, after ending up on the streets of New Orleans, a stranger came along and offered me help. I ended up getting help in a hospital, and one day another stranger told me that GOD must need you for something so HE sent you here. That afternoon I heard this song on the radio, and realized it was a message to me sent long ago and ignored, but now I was able to hear the words. They were the perfect explanation of what I was experiencing. I cried a tear, HE wiped it dry. I was confused, HE cleared my mind, etc. Every situation described in these lyrics explains the GOD I now have in my life!! Somehow HE NEEDED ME then, and still does. I still weap with joy when I hear Anne sing this. I believe she’s speaking to GOD. What a wonderful hymn!!
Touched by your story Stephen. Stay Blessed! I too find myself going still, everytime I hear and it speaks to me and cry if no one is around. I feel in my life's perspective.....it's God and 2 people in the form of God. I am in gratitude always
@@seaglass1111 Yep, I'm 50. I just listened to "Slow Motion" by Juvenile & then came here. That's how I listen to my music. I do love the older stuff better though!!! 😎👍
My father died this morning 8:00am. I wanted to dedicate this song to him because it's their theme song. my mother while both of them is singing. I was still kid back then but I remember 😭💞
@@johnsurguy9043 Yeah i don't care what others say about me when i listen to such melodious songs. They are actually quite refreshing, peaceful and soothing. 🥰🥰😍😍
This song is dedicated to me by a great friend. He died in car crash. His neck got broken. It puts out the tears. Great friend and my best friend. He would have been 51yrs of age. He's like a brother who cared. I miss him all time
I remember listening to this song when I was 18 years old I am now 60 and this song still brings tears to my eyes it was ithe first time I felt in love to my one and only he is not with me anymore I still love him so much
This song was played at my parents 20th wedding anniversary. My parents renewed their vows after 20 years if a beautiful marriage, sadly 7 years later my mom passed away from cancer on July 18th 1997. I miss you momma.
It's my pleasure to meet you here, your comments are so beautiful,, something you can do for yourself on RUclips if you don't mind please kindly add me up on your hangout email, this is my hangout email,,, lucadben440@gmail.com
Jim Smith. I sang this song to my 40 years ago on July 18th, 1981. I pray for your comfort. Your mom will always be with you ❤. Thank God for each day. God bless you.
Ann Murray had sung her heart out with eternal emotions and subtle feelings that every humans might have felt it at some phase of their lives.A great song.
This is one of favorite christian music by Ann Murray -Thank you Lord for being my friend and Savior because " you were there when I needed you the most" especially when a loved one closest to your heart passes, and you feel all alone, and tears of hurt and desperation become uncontrollable, and HE sends peace and calm to all of us who are hurting. Thank you Jesus. I love you.
It isn’t really a Christian song, at least it wasn’t written to be, but I can see how it can be used by religious people, too. It can be interpreted however you like.
This was my first love song to Jesus when He found me in a dark valley of despair and depression. After a divorce from my abusive husband, He picked me up and made me His bride. He set me free from drugs, alcohol, and a three pack a day cigarette habit. Saved me from suicide and gave me Eternal life. All praises to King Jesus! You needed me, You needed me. You died for me, now I live for Thee!
If ever i wil have an encounter with God and gave me a chance to ask question, i will just ask "why" why do you love us so sooo much! Then i suddenly realized that i have a son that i love so much that no matter what, i will always be grateful being a father to him and will always love him unconditionally.
Love this song. I was a single mom, struggling raising my 3 yr old beautiful daughter on my own when I met my late husband. Life changed for me and my daughters. The kindest most loving and generous person! Wonderful years! ❤
Same for me. Single with girl 3 & boy 6yrs. Met my 2nd husband 7 yrs younger while taking kids to local Sunday school. Completely turned my life around. 30 yrs together. No one could have loved us more. Lost him to cancer 7 mths ago. Only 61yrs old & soon to retire. Still crying everyday. Don’t know how I can grow old without him. Camper van sits unused in the shed with all his surfboards. Was finally supposed to be “Our time” after all the years of working. I really like this song too. Greetings from Adelaide Sth Australia 🇦🇺
I'm listening to this song crying and crying it was one of my mom's favorites she passed away on July 18th of this year and we just buried her Wednesday rest in Heavenly peace mom.
Same for me. I lost my mom 2 years ago in Dec. I remember listening to this song with her when I was little. Beautiful song. So many memories flood in as I listen to it.
Woke the last few mornings singing this song to myself, not sure why but thought I'd come and find the record .....then saw your post. My Mum died when I was 22, the event not only changed my life but the way I look at life, 35yrs have passed since that day and while I only see her in pictures and memories in my head I feel she is with me most of the time, I try and live my life in a way she would approve but have messed up a few times!. There is no love greater than a mothers love and the is no person greater than your mother, I am sorry to hear of your loss but life must go on, leave the sorrow behind you and think of the joyful times you had with her and move forward, she will be there with you, as mine is still with me.
I am 84,, now living here in Toronto,Canada since 1972, while not really a sentimental person still this particular song and how it is sang by Anne Murray can't help but bring back memories of that part of my life that gave me hope indeed. Hope that I cherish to this day, inspiration that can work wonder in our lives. My life,for what is worth has been a happy one thanks in part for the woman who became the mother of our children. She held my hand and helped me see the world on a clearer perspective....yes,literally on a ...pedestal,thanks,God bless to all,amen.
Without question, one of the most beautiful songs of modern times, sung by a woman who it was simply made for. My wife of 35 years now, and I, used to sing this song to one another when we were much younger, and coming upon it today just made me remember what a beautiful song it truly is. Looks like it's been an inspiration to many. What a blessing.
I am also a recovering addict alcoholic. 3 months ago I took an AA chip for 14 years. I have been searching diligently for a mate who would love me back. I have been alone for 16 years. I finally found for her and she loves me back. A different perspective on this song is that even though I have been clean and sober for over 14 years I have been at the end of my rope trying to find a reason to continue living. It is interesting to me this song refers in the title to what she needed, but the lyrics refer to what she has given me. She has given me strength when I was at the end.
Thank you. What a powerful example you set for others. My family member is struggling with addiction. I know God is the only one who can truly help her. May God Bless you always.
Funny you should mention this. I just looked up this song because I'm putting something together about "crossover" songs, which are pop songs that also can be interpreted as referring to God.
I love this song, one of the most beautiful songs ever. We all want to feel needed, wanted and loved! One friend who will be with us always in our darkness times in life is Jesus Christ. Thank you Father Lord God Almighty for loving me and never forsaking me.
Susan b the Lord Jesus Christ never harm and never would kill any human being let alone little children. This has the devil's name all over it . War's, killing, it's all evil and comes straight from the pit of hell. God Almighty love was demonstrateed for mankind when he sacrifice his only begotten son Jesus Christ to take our place on the cross and died for us, so we can be forgiven. Thank God, , for God Almighty sees the suffering and all the evils on this Earth . And you can believe they will be punished by the Almighty God for there wickedness
@@roberttrail7013 no matter what, this world thinks of me , or the non believe in the heart of mankind, the fact will always be God Almighty is who he says he is,and Im who God Almighty says I am, nothing will ever change this fact. I will keep you in my prayers for we all need a savior Jesus Christ our Lord is his name. 💖✝️🙏
I am 81 but man it still makes me cry,to hear this beautifull song. I can't explain my emotions to listen to the lyrics and yes I wish I could turn the clock back.
Rose' Jaquez wow, I was just going to type the very same thing, such a beautiful and touching song that make your eyes tear up and take you back in time
This is one of my mom’s favourite songs. She’s 78 and dying. I played this for her yesterday in the palliative care unit at the hospital and be both cried and hugged. It was a beautiful moment as she nears the end of her journey.
I grew up listening to this song with my mum. After she was murdered I held this song dear to my heart for her..then I was saved by Jesus 4 years ago and this song is even more dearer to my heart then ever.. Beautiful song!xo
This song is currently helping me get through the death of my uncle. He was a wonderful man, more like an older brother to me than an uncle, but unfortunately the demons of war followed him home from his tour. I miss him more and more everyday, and this song helps keep his memory alive and well in my mind ♥️
Radio stations just don't play this great kind of music anymore and it's a shame and ignorant of them because ballads were the source of the majority of #1 records. This song took 11 weeks to get to number 1 on the Billboard charts after debuting at #35. But it was in the top 40 for an incredible 23 weeks (almost half a year!). Such a simple lyric and melody which adds to it's brilliance. Anne Murray figured it would be a hit after breaking down in tears at her first attempt at singing it.
I’m playing this for my mom’s funeral services. We were absent from each other’s lives . When I needed her the most she was there. I love you mommy and miss you so much heartbroken
My dad was dying from lung cancer and one Sunday we all went to church. I remember sitting in the third row from the front, on the right side of the church, the side upon which sat the podium from which Pastor James Wilch would deliver his sermons. It was a beautiful Sunday Morning and someone had told Pastor that my dad had not been able to come inside. During his sermon, which was about how people abandon God and his love until they truly need him, he mentioned my dad. He said, "Mr. Dietrich is so sick, that he cannot come into the church, but he loves God so much, that he is sitting outside the church in his red truck, so he could be close to God. This is what undying love is all about. Soon Gene will be gone, but let no one say he doesn't love Jesus!"

God what a beautiful song ... I was born in 89 and wish I was alive during this time, before Justin Bieber and 1 Erection. I was but only for a few years. It seemed like such a happier time in the world. We have come a long way in terms of politics and same sex marriages but it still seemed like a much happier time back in 1978. Did such a place ever exist? I wish my beloved grandparents were still alive and we could have fun days at our family cottage on the lake again, driving there while this music would play and I wouldn't have a care in the world. My grandfather was devastated when the love of his life passed away and he went almost 2 years later but I know they're happily reunited in heaven. Anne Murray's voice just makes everything better.
Stephen R Lovely Stephen...what lovely things to remember.....I was born much earlier in 1944 and grey up right thru that era and a lot more just as significant in terms of a simple uncomplicated Family life. I too yearn for the simpler life when love was all that matters. You trujly are a good soul. Bill---Australia
Stephen R I too was born in '89 (course, if it was just 89, I'd have seen _a lot_ of things...) and I've got to say that the timing seems pretty good. I mean, we get to experience almost all the great things due to the fact that this media, which we are using right now, exists. Plus, we are at a good age for video games. Old enough to know the classics and young enough to be able to fully enjoy what will soon be. The kids that are under 15, heck even 18, just won't appreciate it as much. They were thrown into all this after it was set up. WE know what it was like not having 25+ m.b. download speed. Now, yes older generations had their own moments, just as these teen-somethings will have theirs. We are not special for that. But I'm saying that, if given the chance to travel back to 1978 as my current age (losing all ability to place wagers and the like to "cheat" a better life of course), I don't think I'd take it. And sure, things may have been simpler. But that doesn't mean the world was any better. There has always been the suffering, the violence, the hatred that there is now. The groups that it was against have changed, yes, but it was still there. It's human nature at its core. I'm not saying that we can't get past that, though. Just that it will take an exuberant amount of effort. But the tough things, the things that are truly worth having, are going to take more effort. Cliche, I know, but true nonetheless. Used again and again _because_ it is so true and felt by so many. But I ramble on... The point is, we can't go back, but we can change what will be (again, cliched as ever was). So don't wish to live in an older era. You are half way there with the internet. Take the steps and support up-and-coming music that is similar.
+Stephen R , Hi, Stephen, I know this must have been posted awhile back,but could I please tell you,(simple mistake/misspelt) the group was 1 Direction.hope you don't mind me finding it out!
Chad Bridges so sorry for you loss. When I miss my mom I play this song. She died 19 yrs ago. When I remarry, I wish will be my wedding song. Now, I just have to continue praying that he’d propose.
I'm so sorry for your loss Chad Bridges. I know how hard it is to lose someone that loves you and whom you love. Unfortunately I have just lost my brother and best friend Jessi in a hit and run car wreck and I am an emotional wreck because if it weren't for him I probably wouldn't be here. I know it's hard right now to get over the loss of your wife but just stay strong and if you ever need or want to talk about anything I'm always right here for you. Again I am so very sorry for your loss Chad Bridges. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Well man don't worry. Sure things suck right now, I'm in a serious predicament myself, but just know something better will come around for you, because existence cannot stay at a standstill, the future has to come one way or another. So let the future happen friend, it can only be something better
My ex husband passed away today, an old friend reminded me of our song, it applied to each of us individually. How we reached that fork in the road where one turned left and one right I’m not sure. It’s brought back so many great memories, I thank my friend for that. 💖
This song has a special meaning to me. I had hit the bottom, after a divorce, while stationed at CCK AB Taiwan 1977 - 1979. One of my co-workers picked me up and took care of me. We fell in love and 35 years later we are still together. Regardless where we are on life's highway, there is always someone along the way that is willing to reach out and help us when we need it most.
Jim Walker Wow Jim, I love your story! It's proof, you never know that 'something' is watching over us...and I'm no way religious. Soon, I'll be living on my own after breaking up after 5 years. I'll often remember your story when my days get dark.... Hope you both have many more happy decades to come!! Best wishes to you both, Glen.
Well here we are three years later. We will be married thirty eight years tomorrow. I now have some major health issues and my rock means more to me than ever as she has become very protective and helpful to me. Love you Vivian with all my heart.
I met Anne and her Husband the first time she played CNE. I was her limo owner/driver and I can tell you she is signing this song about her Husband. Thank you for that night.
@Harry Caray I read an article that said she was singing to our Lord and savior.How can a man clear anyone's mind? How can a man lift a woman up so high she can see eternity? How can a man turn a liar into someone who tells the truth? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. I like to think about it this way because when one puts their faith in man or woman ,one is usually disappointed.But not with God .But that's just me
@@trudyst.claire2383 a man can do all of these things when it's with love. It's rather realistic then to believe that made by some how power named God where you don't even know if it's real or not. Humans are real and there are people walking on this earth that can clear your mind. They can lift you so high that you think you can see eternity. If it's done between two lovers then believe me it's possible. And believe me a man can do to a woman too. There are enough good man
When I was at the lowest point in my life, and going thru a divorce, my now husband did all of these things for me. We needed each other. This song means so much to me and makes me realize how much I appreciate my husband and how far I've come since that dark time in my life.
This song gives me hope. It gives me strength. It gives me the ability to move forward. No matter how much I cry. With this song, I know I will be alright.
thank you so much Lord for needing me, you call me and as i turned to you, you welcome me with open arms 😊😊😊 thank you Lord for your never ending love.
Lagu ini sgt menyentuh hati, mengingatkan ku pd seseorang yg berada di samping ku saat ku terpuruk kmrn...memberi ku semangat dan mengingatkan ku untuk selalu tampil cantik agar bs trs berdiri tegak menghadapi dunia... Terimakasih sdh menjadi bagian dr kehidupan ku...menjadikan ku teman mu..sahabatmu dan pelindung ku...😊🙏
Mom would sing this ... she was getting older and needed help but never asked or said she needed help ....but strangely she would sing this when it would come on the radio and look at me and smile ... and I think she was telling me she needed me and as time went on the words became so so right as she lapsed into confusion and it seems I did the things in the lyrics for her without knowing until I saw them in print ..keeping her dignity and at home out of a nursing home ... I loved her
You Needed Me used to be one of those songs I hated growing up (especially since it was played so many times during the seventies and eighties), but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how beautiful the lyrics actually are.
I sang this to my partner for his 65th birthday. We met at a time when we both needed each other. He has a brain injury, I am bipolar, we survived homelessness and cancer together, and now he has prostate cancer which cannot be treated due to prior cancer treatment. He is my world, and always will be
I've never had a song speak to me and tug on my heart strings before. It makes me thing of a special someone who helped me through such a difficult time in my life.
When I was taking a driving lesson (a very long time ago) my instructor (really nice man,bless your cotton socks Mr Shelton Hawkins) asked me if I knew a song he'd heard for the new woman in his life. Luckily from what he could tell me about it I recognised it as this song and he was overjoyed.
My mom sent me this song. She's standing strong to be by my gram's side as she battles breast cancer. My mom was with my grandpa when he passed (I never met him). She was in her early 20's then. My mom is the strongest person I know. This song gives her peace and strength to take on life's challenges. I hope she knows how much I look up to her!
Thanks to those whoever gave me thumbs ups! I wanna meet each one of you! Any Annie Murray fans out there, let's chat! Til then, you have my love! Always!
When I’m listening this song I really miss my mom a lot and it tore me to pieces 😭😭😭😭😩😥💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭 she really likes to sing repeatedly... I can’t get over ... everyday every night every single day I just wanted to hug my mom tightly... how I wish to see her for the last of her breath... I was hurt ,, I feel the pain everyday , that when you got up early in the morning you remembered her a lot what she does and her responsibilities as being a mother of us 😭😔 I can’t move on, she passed away for almost 2 years and the most difficult in my life that she died in the Philippines and I’m working in abroad so hard to go home due to covid 19 I cannot see her anymore .. she told me to go home... I regret a lot ... I really hates myself while my mom begging me to go back home as soon as possible... and I never thought all of these ... everything’s happen for a reason .... I can’t get through.... so hard living in this world without a mother .. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔
Each tear you have shed for your mom represents a joyful memory you have of your mom, you should see that sadness in that light. Your mom holds no grudge as it seems like she was a great part in raising you and becoming a well rounded person. I'm sure she is watching over you and is proud of her daughter.
I love my god. YOU ARE my god. I lost my will several times and suffered from isolation. Life is not easy. This song has been my real friend with comfort.
It made me cry when I remember my sister helped her husband during his illness, his leg was cut due to infection from diabetes. She loves him so much ❤️❤️
This was one of my older sister's favorite songs. She raised me as her daughter. She passed away exactly 1 year ago today March 25) . I decided to play this as way to honor her memory. I love and miss you Mommy. Hug hug. Love, your Honeybunch
This is about Jesus.. there is NO one has Love like Him, this is about Unconditional love. There is no human has love like this 🙏❤️ He die on the cross for us to pay our sins.
This song always touched my heart. In the late 70s I was saved/born again, the tail end of the Jesus Movement in history from the Baby Boomers. It was the era of the hippies, rejecting materialism, seeking truth, wondering what is of true value? The Lord drew many of that generation and I was one. Gave my life to Christ at a Billy Graham crusade. Have not been the same since. When I heard this song it was a reminder of how Christ literally changed my life. I was one of those you would have said "Oh, she will never amount to anaything - abused, bitter, used..." But God saw me hurting, stumbling, needing Him. He loved me. He came to earth to save me from the sin that was eating me up. I pray this new generation will reach out to Him. He loves them too. With Jesus, the real Jesus, your life is worth everything. He gave His life's blood to save you and have you with Him. God bless.
My lovely husband words would never be enough to say ... after 21 years I just can be sure that I will love you for all the eternity thanks for our beautiful children, for everything you did and still doing to make me the happiest woman in this world !
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry I was confused, you cleared my mind I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity Somehow you needed me You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave? I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares You held my hand when it was cold When I was lost you took me home You gave me hope when I was at the end And turned my lies back into truth again You even called me "friend" You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me You needed me, you needed me

I played this for my husband's funeral. Met him when I was a crazy homeless 17 year old. Married at 19 for 40 years and my life was wonderful with him. He was my everything. John died 7.9.2018. Every day is another learning to live without him. I have to count my blessings, they are all due to him.
What beautiful history! You guys will meet again in the heaven.
Beautiful 👍🏾
Going through a true bond relationship!🤦😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Loving someone who loves you back are words...
Kisah yang sangat menyentuh, cinta abadi itu ada & dibawa sampai mati... Mrs. Harmer tetap sehat tetap semangat, jalani hidupmu dengan kenangan indah bersama Almarhum Suamimu tercinta, Gbu

I am 77 and I found that I was fascinated by Anne Murray's songs recently.
Me too! ❤
They keep popping up in mind and I haven't heard them in years! It's God speaking to us 🎉
*I am a Christian but for years I lost my faith and lately I find myself suicidal. Today I woke up with hope again, and this song is helping me calm my heart. I realized that only Jesus can heal me. Thank you Jesus. The light in the darkness, that is who you are. ❤*
😊😊❤
God does not make junk. He only makes things so special that it took Him all this time to make the best place to put you so you can be a light for the world. Now shine that light and lead people to Him.

I met my wife almost 40 years ago when I was 29, lonely and unloved. She then and throughout our 40 years together, gave me strength to carry on again and I am the person I am because of her love and friendship. A wonderful singer sung this song at our wedding. How lucky we were to meet 40 years ago and now retiring in a few months time to share another 30 years together.
God bless you guys! JESUS SAVES!
Aww how lovely to hear that.
@@gregsimmons694 I too applied that to our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏
Congrats! It's nice to hear your story. Thank you so much for sharing.
Mr paul give me a hug and kiss for your wife love from far2 away
This song makes me think of the Lord, who will never leave me nor forsake me! He is ever faithful, loving, forgiving, and compassionate! Praise the Lord for He is good!
AMEN..
Amen 🙏
I feel exactly the same when I look at my past life. Always feel blessed.
Amen..🙏😇
Me too❤
I played this at my Husbands funeral 5 years ago - he was Canadian as was Anne Murray. It was perfect - and I miss him more than I can say
This is the song that I danced with my father at my wedding! He died 22 years ago!Brings tears to my eyes!! Thanks 🙏’n
God bless you! JESUS SAVES!
I first heard this song in NC. Years later, after ending up on the streets of New Orleans, a stranger came along and offered me help. I ended up getting help in a hospital, and one day another stranger told me that GOD must need you for something so HE sent you here. That afternoon I heard this song on the radio, and realized it was a message to me sent long ago and ignored, but now I was able to hear the words. They were the perfect explanation of what I was experiencing. I cried a tear, HE wiped it dry. I was confused, HE cleared my mind, etc. Every situation described in these lyrics explains the GOD I now have in my life!! Somehow HE NEEDED ME then, and still does. I still weap with joy when I hear Anne sing this. I believe she’s speaking to GOD. What a wonderful hymn!!
Was much blessed with your perspective and experience. Yes one could almost see eternity ...
What a beautiful story.
Amen Brother !I still cry when I hear it, too.
I was at a point in my life when I thot it was over.
Thank you for the beautiful words. My wife and I are married for 44 years this coming September. She is my soulmate. Thank you for your kind words.
Touched by your story Stephen. Stay Blessed!
I too find myself going still, everytime I hear and it speaks to me and cry if no one is around. I feel in my life's perspective.....it's God and 2 people in the form of God.
I am in gratitude always
Jesus Christ can change and restore the broken lives..We need Jesus Christ more and more..
He alone is our Lord and personal savior.
Nice meeting you Christiana
I like how I can enjoy this beautiful song as a 16 year old guy with a bunch of 60 year old moms. Life is dope
And you will have the joy of discovering new depth in it as you go along in your life. Bravo.
A bunch of older men are here too lol. There's nothing like the good old days. I only wish I was old enough to have been aware of those days.
@@seaglass1111 Yep, I'm 50. I just listened to "Slow Motion" by Juvenile & then came here. That's how I listen to my music. I do love the older stuff better though!!! 😎👍
That's because the 1970s music is better than any new crap.

Jesus is talking to y'all!🎉
My father died this morning 8:00am. I wanted to dedicate this song to him because it's their theme song. my mother while both of them is singing. I was still kid back then but I remember 😭💞
God bless you!JESUS SAVES!
Understood.
God bless you
condolence
I’m so sorry for your loss
When I was little I thought this was a slow,old person song. Guess what? Now I’m a slow,old person. Beautiful song✌️💕
May I have this dance (as kindred spirits) with you?
Absolutely love this song brings back so many memories
Funny how old, slow music catches up to us isn't it
@@johnsurguy9043 Yeah i don't care what others say about me when i listen to such melodious songs. They are actually quite refreshing, peaceful and soothing. 🥰🥰😍😍
@@ashleyd4369 I concur
My Nana, who is 100 years old, loves this song. Her favorite. ❤️
This song is dedicated to me by a great friend. He died in car crash. His neck got broken. It puts out the tears. Great friend and my best friend. He would have been 51yrs of age. He's like a brother who cared. I miss him all time
This is the soundtrack to every car ride with my grandma. Sometimes it hard to hear it without crying. Beautiful song.
God bless you! JESUS SAVES!
Same. Here.
We should cry...
When I listen to this song, I let the tears flow as they wish. No point in trying not to cry when this one is on.
Beautiful song
Many thought this was a very special Love song. That it is, but it's more than that. This is a song about someone realizing how much JESUS Loves THEM.
That's some bull you said there
I remember listening to this song when I was 18 years old I am now 60 and this song still brings tears to my eyes it was ithe first time I felt in love to my one and only he is not with me anymore I still love him so much
You are a strong woman!
Time really does pass by so quickly
Hi joan, hope you’re okay?
@@jerrygraham9360 Thank you i am good
I’m sorry Joan! Be strong you will see each other again of that I’m sure
This song was played at my parents 20th wedding anniversary. My parents renewed their vows after 20 years if a beautiful marriage, sadly 7 years later my mom passed away from cancer on July 18th 1997. I miss you momma.
Rest In Peace to your Momma! 🥺💙
this song reminds me of the father of my son he is now in heaven

Nice
I remember my mom listening to this song. She loved Anne Murray. Happy Birthday Mama in Heaven. I am listening to this song for you.
Amy Gale 😔🌹
My mom loved them too 💗
same here. Miss my mom
Amy...your mother knew great talent. I love Anne Murray.
Same here. This is the 1st anniversary of her passing
Ann Murray had sung her heart out
with eternal emotions and subtle
feelings that every humans might
have felt it at some phase of their
lives.A great song.
It's just one of those eternal songs..
Sadly she didnt write it tho
@@nein3533❤
Вот так, ни одной песни не написав, становится знаменитыми
This is one of favorite christian music by Ann Murray -Thank you Lord for being my friend and Savior because " you were there when I needed you the most" especially when a loved one closest to your heart passes, and you feel all alone, and tears of hurt and desperation become uncontrollable, and HE sends peace and calm to all of us who are hurting. Thank you Jesus. I love you.
This song it's really nice meaning that why it can be forgot I love it thanks for appload this on RUclips so I can listen somehow😘😘😘
Hi Ora cavazos, hope you’re okay?
Amén países the Lord
Amen
It isn’t really a Christian song, at least it wasn’t written to be, but I can see how it can be used by religious people, too. It can be interpreted however you like.
This was my first love song to Jesus when He found me in a dark valley of despair and depression. After a divorce from my abusive husband, He picked me up and made me His bride. He set me free from drugs, alcohol, and a three pack a day cigarette habit. Saved me from suicide and gave me Eternal life. All praises to King Jesus!
You needed me, You needed me. You died for me, now I live for Thee!
wow that was so very beautiful.
Praise our almighty God.. I'm so grateful for your life n glad that you finally found him..
Thank you Jesus
Beautiful testimony ❤️
If ever i wil have an encounter with God and gave me a chance to ask question, i will just ask "why" why do you love us so sooo much! Then i suddenly realized that i have a son that i love so much that no matter what, i will always be grateful being a father to him and will always love him unconditionally.
Love song to Jesus? It's just a beautiful song, nothing else.
Love this song. I was a single mom, struggling raising my 3 yr old beautiful daughter on my own when I met my late husband. Life changed for me and my daughters. The kindest most loving and generous person! Wonderful years! ❤
Same for me. Single with girl 3 & boy 6yrs. Met my 2nd husband 7 yrs younger while taking kids to local Sunday school. Completely turned my life around. 30 yrs together. No one could have loved us more. Lost him to cancer 7 mths ago. Only 61yrs old & soon to retire. Still crying everyday. Don’t know how I can grow old without him. Camper van sits unused in the shed with all his surfboards. Was finally supposed to be “Our time” after all the years of working. I really like this song too. Greetings from Adelaide Sth Australia 🇦🇺
I'm listening to this song crying and crying it was one of my mom's favorites she passed away on July 18th of this year and we just buried her Wednesday rest in Heavenly peace mom.
Same for me. I lost my mom 2 years ago in Dec. I remember listening to this song with her when I was little. Beautiful song. So many memories flood in as I listen to it.
We,need Anne Murray to sing more
to keep our loves and emotions
afresh.
Woke the last few mornings singing this song to myself, not sure why but thought I'd come and find the record .....then saw your post. My Mum died when I was 22, the event not only changed my life but the way I look at life, 35yrs have passed since that day and while I only see her in pictures and memories in my head I feel she is with me most of the time, I try and live my life in a way she would approve but have messed up a few times!. There is no love greater than a mothers love and the is no person greater than your mother, I am sorry to hear of your loss but life must go on, leave the sorrow behind you and think of the joyful times you had with her and move forward, she will be there with you, as mine is still with me.
Lovely feeling! I do share your
touching emotion!
I am 84,, now living here in Toronto,Canada since 1972, while not really a sentimental person still this particular song and how it is sang by Anne Murray can't help but bring back memories of that part of my life that gave me hope indeed. Hope that I cherish to this day, inspiration that can work wonder in our lives. My life,for what is worth has been a happy one thanks in part for the woman who became the mother of our children. She held my hand and helped
me see the world on a clearer perspective....yes,literally on a ...pedestal,thanks,God bless to all,amen.
Toronto,Canada...oh myyy
Kilkenny
That song is so beautiful.i love it tears are falling. Pauline
Beautiful ...thank you for sharing.
It is a true privilege to read and sense the sensitivity of a Man of your edge expressed in what you shared with us. I do appreciate it.
Every time I listen to this song bring tears to my eyes and I feel the love from God. 😥❤️🙏
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
This touching song do the same thing to me
This song feels like my heart song to Yeshua....He did all this and a million more things! Thank you Father my "Abba"
Without question, one of the most beautiful songs of modern times, sung by a woman who it was simply made for. My wife of 35 years now, and I, used to sing this song to one another when we were much younger, and coming upon it today just made me remember what a beautiful song it truly is. Looks like it's been an inspiration to many. What a blessing.
As a recovering addict This song is for my higher power, without him I would have never made it out of my world of pain and despair.
I am also a recovering addict alcoholic. 3 months ago I took an AA chip for 14 years. I have been searching diligently for a mate who would love me back. I have been alone for 16 years. I finally found for her and she loves me back. A different perspective on this song is that even though I have been clean and sober for over 14 years I have been at the end of my rope trying to find a reason to continue living. It is interesting to me this song refers in the title to what she needed, but the lyrics refer to what she has given me. She has given me strength when I was at the end.
be kind to yourself and don't judge yourself too harshly: we are ALL flawed one way or another-that's because we are humans.
You spoke the words of my heart ❤❤❤
Beautiful
Thank you. What a powerful example you set for others. My family member is struggling with addiction. I know God is the only one who can truly help her. May God Bless you always.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
It really is.
I don't care what anyone says this is beautiful... So there!!!!
Is this English?
I say it with you.
Listening to this song makes me realize. It's like Jesus saying You needed me to me
I don't know whether this is a Gospel song or not, but every time I listen to it, it reminds me of God
It is a gospel song
It is not....
It can be referred to God and also to whoever might have been placed in our life to assist us ... my point of view
@mamamaumamam
Read ur comment and there was a complete paradigm shift in perspective for me while listening to this song..thx!!!
Funny you should mention this. I just looked up this song because I'm putting something together about "crossover" songs, which are pop songs that also can be interpreted as referring to God.
I love this song, one of the most beautiful songs ever. We all want to feel needed, wanted and loved! One friend who will be with us always in our darkness times in life is Jesus Christ. Thank you Father Lord God Almighty for loving me and never forsaking me.
❤️
After all these years, still an incredibly beautiful song
This was our wedding song 38 years ago. I was a troubled soul who had lost her faith. My husband helped me find it again.
I dedicated this song to the Lord Jesus Christ, for all his love for me, thank you Lord ✝️💝
Susan b the Lord Jesus Christ never harm and never would kill any human being let alone little children. This has the devil's name all over it . War's, killing, it's all evil and comes straight from the pit of hell.

This is one of my mom’s favourite songs. She’s 78 and dying. I played this for her yesterday in the palliative care unit at the hospital and be both cried and hugged. It was a beautiful moment as she nears the end of her journey.
I grew up listening to this song with my mum. After she was murdered I held this song dear to my heart for her..then I was saved by Jesus 4 years ago and this song is even more dearer to my heart then ever.. Beautiful song!xo
Jacqueline Hamill Praise God. :-)
Yes Praise God. He is awesome.xo
Jacqueline Hamill me too
How it happen?
How was i saved by Jesus?..
This song is currently helping me get through the death of my uncle. He was a wonderful man, more like an older brother to me than an uncle, but unfortunately the demons of war followed him home from his tour. I miss him more and more everyday, and this song helps keep his memory alive and well in my mind ♥️
Sorry you lost him.
@emma hope you doing all right these days with supportive people in your life
Blessings to you 💖🙏🙏💐
Radio stations just don't play this great kind of music anymore and it's a shame and ignorant of them because ballads were the source of the majority of #1 records. This song took 11 weeks to get to number 1 on the Billboard charts after debuting at #35. But it was in the top 40 for an incredible 23 weeks (almost half a year!). Such a simple lyric and melody which adds to it's brilliance. Anne Murray figured it would be a hit after breaking down in tears at her first attempt at singing it.
Hello there
Listen to Heart radio stations on Sunday nights 6 to 10pm.

@@candydelacruz2463 Thanks for the suggestion
I’m playing this for my mom’s funeral services. We were absent from each other’s lives . When I needed her the most she was there. I love you mommy and miss you so much heartbroken
My dad was dying from lung cancer and one Sunday we all went to church. I remember sitting in the third row from the front, on the right side of the church, the side upon which sat the podium from which Pastor James Wilch would deliver his sermons. It was a beautiful Sunday Morning and someone had told Pastor that my dad had not been able to come inside. During his sermon, which was about how people abandon God and his love until they truly need him, he mentioned my dad. He said, "Mr. Dietrich is so sick, that he cannot come into the church, but he loves God so much, that he is sitting outside the church in his red truck, so he could be close to God. This is what undying love is all about. Soon Gene will be gone, but let no one say he doesn't love Jesus!"
GOD BLESS!!!!! now that is love no doubt.
My mother loved Ann Murray, she always listened to the radio and when her songs came on we would all sing to them, howni miss those days💜❤💜❤💜

Hi Shana, hope you’re okay?
@@crystalsandlin3699 hi Crystal, hope you’re okay?
God what a beautiful song ... I was born in 89 and wish I was alive during this time, before Justin Bieber and 1 Erection. I was but only for a few years. It seemed like such a happier time in the world. We have come a long way in terms of politics and same sex marriages but it still seemed like a much happier time back in 1978. Did such a place ever exist? I wish my beloved grandparents were still alive and we could have fun days at our family cottage on the lake again, driving there while this music would play and I wouldn't have a care in the world. My grandfather was devastated when the love of his life passed away and he went almost 2 years later but I know they're happily reunited in heaven. Anne Murray's voice just makes everything better.
Stephen R Lovely Stephen...what lovely things to remember.....I was born much earlier in 1944 and grey up right thru that era and a lot more just as significant in terms of a simple uncomplicated Family life. I too yearn for the simpler life when love was all that matters. You trujly are a good soul.
Bill---Australia
Stephen back then there was much more love in the world I was born in 1965 so I was growing up than yes love was great
Stephen R
I too was born in '89 (course, if it was just 89, I'd have seen _a lot_ of things...) and I've got to say that the timing seems pretty good. I mean, we get to experience almost all the great things due to the fact that this media, which we are using right now, exists. Plus, we are at a good age for video games. Old enough to know the classics and young enough to be able to fully enjoy what will soon be. The kids that are under 15, heck even 18, just won't appreciate it as much. They were thrown into all this after it was set up. WE know what it was like not having 25+ m.b. download speed.
Now, yes older generations had their own moments, just as these teen-somethings will have theirs. We are not special for that. But I'm saying that, if given the chance to travel back to 1978 as my current age (losing all ability to place wagers and the like to "cheat" a better life of course), I don't think I'd take it. And sure, things may have been simpler. But that doesn't mean the world was any better. There has always been the suffering, the violence, the hatred that there is now. The groups that it was against have changed, yes, but it was still there. It's human nature at its core.
I'm not saying that we can't get past that, though. Just that it will take an exuberant amount of effort. But the tough things, the things that are truly worth having, are going to take more effort. Cliche, I know, but true nonetheless. Used again and again _because_ it is so true and felt by so many.
But I ramble on... The point is, we can't go back, but we can change what will be (again, cliched as ever was). So don't wish to live in an older era. You are half way there with the internet. Take the steps and support up-and-coming music that is similar.
Thank u
+Stephen R , Hi, Stephen, I know this must have been posted awhile back,but could I please tell you,(simple mistake/misspelt) the group was 1 Direction.hope you don't mind me finding it out!

@@yourstruly2512 he will I did best decision I every made
I'm so sorry for your loss Chad Bridges. I know how hard it is to lose someone that loves you and whom you love. Unfortunately I have just lost my brother and best friend Jessi in a hit and run car wreck and I am an emotional wreck because if it weren't for him I probably wouldn't be here. I know it's hard right now to get over the loss of your wife but just stay strong and if you ever need or want to talk about anything I'm always right here for you. Again I am so very sorry for your loss Chad Bridges. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Well man don't worry. Sure things suck right now, I'm in a serious predicament myself, but just know something better will come around for you, because existence cannot stay at a standstill, the future has to come one way or another. So let the future happen friend, it can only be something better

I just listened to this song for the second time and it was amazing!
I was born in 1970. i am happy to have lived through 70s 80s & 90s ...Best music, not to forget 50s & 60s as well.
Iloveyou and long live...😥
Me too :)
My first dance music during our prom events back in late 70s.
I’m 90s born and think the music of the 70s and 80s was so much better
This song has a special meaning to me. I had hit the bottom, after a divorce, while stationed at CCK AB Taiwan 1977 - 1979. One of my co-workers picked me up and took care of me. We fell in love and 35 years later we are still together. Regardless where we are on life's highway, there is always someone along the way that is willing to reach out and help us when we need it most.
Jim Walker Wow Jim, I love your story! It's proof, you never know that 'something' is watching over us...and I'm no way religious. Soon, I'll be living on my own after breaking up after 5 years. I'll often remember your story when my days get dark.... Hope you both have many more happy decades to come!! Best wishes to you both, Glen.
Well here we are three years later. We will be married thirty eight years tomorrow. I now have some major health issues and my rock means more to me than ever as she has become very protective and helpful to me. Love you Vivian with all my heart.
Wow great story.
nice story. God bless your family.
you needed me...beautiful song
Simple song. Uncomplicated lyrics. Indelible effect. Thanks, Anne Murray.
This fits for Jesus, and then to an earthly relationship too. for eternity ...amazing grace, and much thanks
So you'd tell Jesus "you needed me"?
This song is about me and my Saviour Jesus Christ; however it is I who need Him. Thank You Jesus for lifting me up when I was deep in sin.
I think so
He's not real
Absolutely!

What a beautiful song
@Harry Caray I read an article that said she was singing to our Lord and savior.How can a man clear anyone's mind? How can a man lift a woman up so high she can see eternity? How can a man turn a liar into someone who tells the truth? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. I like to think about it this way because when one puts their faith in man or woman ,one is usually disappointed.But not with God .But that's just me
@@trudyst.claire2383 a man can do all of these things when it's with love. It's rather realistic then to believe that made by some how power named God where you don't even know if it's real or not. Humans are real and there are people walking on this earth that can clear your mind. They can lift you so high that you think you can see eternity. If it's done between two lovers then believe me it's possible. And believe me a man can do to a woman too. There are enough good man

Mom would sing this ... she was getting older and needed help but never asked or said she needed help ....but strangely she would sing this when it would come on the radio and look at me and smile ... and I think she was telling me she needed me and as time went on the words became so so right as she lapsed into confusion and it seems I did the things in the lyrics for her without knowing until I saw them in print ..keeping her dignity and at home out of a nursing home ... I loved her
Best wishes to you
You Needed Me used to be one of those songs I hated growing up (especially since it was played so many times during the seventies and eighties), but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how beautiful the lyrics actually are.
same :( it now reminds me of the good old times
A unique and flawless voice. She belongs to a LISTINGS of very RARE number of Singers with a smooth singing voice.
I sang this to my partner for his 65th birthday. We met at a time when we both needed each other. He has a brain injury, I am bipolar, we survived homelessness and cancer together, and now he has prostate cancer which cannot be treated due to prior cancer treatment. He is my world, and always will be

+Kelsey Wakeman *sigh* knew a comment like this would be here
When I was taking a driving lesson (a very long time ago) my instructor (really nice man,bless your cotton socks Mr Shelton Hawkins) asked me if I knew a song he'd heard for the new woman in his life. Luckily from what he could tell me about it I recognised it as this song and he was overjoyed.
+Pika TheSage And thats a bad thing? If so thats your opinion but there is nothing wrong with his comment in all honesty.
Kelsey I know what you mean. If you read my comment you will see what I mean.
My mom sent me this song. She's standing strong to be by my gram's side as she battles breast cancer. My mom was with my grandpa when he passed (I never met him). She was in her early 20's then. My mom is the strongest person I know. This song gives her peace and strength to take on life's challenges. I hope she knows how much I look up to her!

I was hurt ,, I feel the pain everyday , that when you got up early in the morning you remembered her a lot what she does and her responsibilities as being a mother of us 😭😔 I can’t move on, she passed away for almost 2 years and the most difficult in my life that she died in the Philippines and I’m working in abroad so hard to go home due to covid 19 I cannot see her anymore .. she told me to go home... I regret a lot ... I really hates myself while my mom begging me to go back home as soon as possible... and I never thought all of these ... everything’s happen for a reason .... I can’t get through.... so hard living in this world without a mother .. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔
Each tear you have shed for your mom represents a joyful memory you have of your mom, you should see that sadness in that light. Your mom holds no grudge as it seems like she was a great part in raising you and becoming a well rounded person. I'm sure she is watching over you and is proud of her daughter.
God bless you! JESUS SAVES!
I love my god. YOU ARE my god. I lost my will several times and suffered from isolation. Life is not easy. This song has been my real friend with comfort.
Anybody listening to this beautiful song with me now? Greetings from Tokyo, Japan.

My late husband and I loved Ann Murray's beautiful songs, I still do ! Thanks for sharing !
Yeah this song in particular could melt a stone heart. Sorry you lost your soulmate.
It made me cry when I remember my sister helped her husband during his illness, his leg was cut due to infection from diabetes. She loves him so much ❤️❤️
Ann Murray always delivers her best. Enjoy your retirement, but know that you will be missed!
She's one of the best. We Canadians love her very much.
She has a warm, wonderful and soothing voice !
This was one of my older sister's favorite songs. She raised me as her daughter. She passed away exactly 1 year ago today March 25) . I decided to play this as way to honor her memory. I love and miss you Mommy. Hug hug. Love, your Honeybunch

This song always touched my heart. In the late 70s I was saved/born again, the tail end of the Jesus Movement in history from the Baby Boomers. It was the era of the hippies, rejecting materialism, seeking truth, wondering what is of true value?
The Lord drew many of that generation and I was one. Gave my life to Christ at a Billy Graham crusade. Have not been the same since. When I heard this song it was a reminder of how Christ literally changed my life. I was one of those you would have said "Oh, she will never amount to anaything - abused, bitter, used..." But God saw me hurting, stumbling, needing Him. He loved me. He came to earth to save me from the sin that was eating me up. I pray this new generation will reach out to Him. He loves them too. With Jesus, the real Jesus, your life is worth everything. He gave His life's blood to save you and have you with Him. God bless.
This song has to be a prayer ! Anybody who has been through Hell and survived can relate !
My lovely husband words would never be enough to say ... after 21 years I just can be sure that I will love you for all the eternity thanks for our beautiful children, for everything you did and still doing to make me the happiest woman in this world !
+Mirian Davies Good for you two, Marian. By the looks of it you appear to deserve every bit of it!
Beautiful tribute.
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me
This song makes me so emotional in so many ways
XWillow GraceX very nice song
