'I Look To You' - RIP Whitney - End of an era...

I wasn't really familiar with this song until this week... but I now realise how sad and desperate it was - as well as being truly wonderful. Yes, her voice isn't there (how it would've been!), but the essence is.


Knowing what I know, in two areas, I hear and feel the sadness. Regret... maybe? But truth...yes!


Question is: although written for her by R. Kelly, was she looking to God - or herself?


RIP Whitney... the end of an era xxxx

Lyrics:


As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now 
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?


I look to you, I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you, I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you


About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head


I look to you, I look to you
And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you, I look to you
Oh yeah, and when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you 


My levee's have broken
My walls have come crumbling down on me
The rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free


Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me


I look to you, I look to you
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you, I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you 


I look to you
I look to you
