This I Promise You - Nsync Analysis

I chose the song “This I Promise You” by Nsync. This song portrays some eros love because the guy wants to hold her in the opening lines of the chorus. Also it suggests that this is also agape love for it is also about friendship and commitment. God would not want me in this type of relationship because this love is some eros but not much. This love is more of about commitment, friendship and trust. What makes me feel uncomfortable is the ideal message of love and promise. Love in real life usually isn’t as easy as just a promise even though it is almost that simple. It almost never happens that simply. Only God’s love is that simple. There are no sexual innuendos that make me uncomfortable because there are hardly any. The only sexual innuendo is the guy wanting to hold the girl. This message can establish the type of family because this song is about a promise and trust. I want to incorporate trust within my family. This song is irrational because it says that “without you in my life baby, I just wouldn’t be livin’ at all.” It also says that “ I’ve loved you forever” which is impossible. Yes this does give a person meaning that he or she is valuable because the song talks about the person being worth the promise to be with him or her. The opening lines of the chorus are “And I will take you in my arms.” This is a sexual innuendo. If I heard this I would be touched because the person is saying that I am special for him or her to keep a promise for. This song is definitely not one of the songs that my friends are listening to because this is a very old song that is before their times. The music adds to the song because it is very mellow and soft. pJust like the music the lyrics are soft and touching. Now that I have carefully analyzed the message of this song, I wish that someday I can apply to my life by making a promise and commitment to a woman for the rest of my life.

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and liesI'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will takeYou in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymoreI give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life babyI just wouldn't be living at all...
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise youOoh,
I promise you...

Why I believe in God

I believe in a loving God who created the universe and strives to interact with His creation. My parents have very strong Christian beliefs and faiths and dragged me to church when I was younger. I have been Adventist from birth because of my parents and had been spoon fed the “Jesus loves you“ message ever since. Now I go to church because of my own decision. I believe in God not because of what I have been told. To me, a life with God is a lot better than a life with Him. Choosing to believe in a higher power that cares for you and wants to interact with you is much better than believing that the human race was accidental. I choose to believe in God because I believe in hope and everlasting life rather than inevitable death. I know in this world that bad things happen to people. People die and relationships end but there is only one constant in life to those who believe in God. I know that there is hope for the future that in the end God will restore the world as he first intended it to. When people die, I would much rather believe that I will see them in heaven rather than their remains will decompose and become part of the soil in some time. There is also a reason that many people have sacrificed their lives to spread the message that there is a God. God has the power to transform lives. He helps believers realize that they cannot control what happens to them because bad things will happen. The only thing they can control is their outlook on life. Even if God was not real or didn’t exist, I would much rather live a life believing in a lie and living with hope than live in the truth and live with mortal destiny.
