    Lyrics:
    Have I told you lately that I love you?
    Have I told you there's no one above you?
    You fill my heart with gladness
    And you take away my sadness
    You ease my troubles, that's what you do

    This is my husband’s UA-cam account. I lost him 2 weeks ago and this was our song. It makes my heart sad as I remember him. Our love was Devine. We gave thanks and prayed. This song takes away my sadness. He eased my troubles that’s what he did. Prayers to all who’ve lost loved ones.

    This song is the most strong hug inducing song for my wife and I. Often times, the hugs lasted longer than the music. We first heard it early in our marriage. We almost made it to our 50th anniversary. She died of cancer on March 3, 2024.
    I appreciate that many others are aware that it was sung as a song of Praise to Jesus by Van Morrison. I don't doubt that Jesus would mind sharing it with my wife.
    I miss her so very much, but can never find the words that adequately tell how much.

      Fair enough but the songwriter's original intention is more valuable to me. Id rather hear Van singing this over Rod Stewart. Not just because Van wrote it, but it is about his relationship with God. Whereas Rod sang it thinking about Rachel Hunter. That's why I can't take Rod's version seriously

      Well, it certainly matters to Van who wrote it to God. In case you think I'm putting my beliefs on my old friend (I've known him since I was a small child), I'm not. Van Morrison was brought up in Christian home &, as he would say, "After a bit of a wander, I came home!"😊.

      I understand your viewpoints. But music for me is not so literal. As the listener I interpret songs for me, what worlds, images, feelings they bring me. I am a participant in it. What is Van singing about in “Into The Mystic?” That iconic, lovely Morrison song takes me to another world. That is a trademark of music and lyrics done well.

      I'm so sorry you lost your wife back then. You can be sure she is now safe in Gods memory. But George do you know that there will come a time when you will be able to see her again here on earth? God promises this in the bible where it says according to Revelations 21:3-5 ...,,with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune. I can recommend you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,Enjoy Life Forever" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/this article is about what God will do in the very near future and how it can give you hope for the future. The future look's much better than most of the people expect, because God loves us and what he promises will not fail. Best regards, Michel

      Hello Rod, I read your comment and I want to tell you know that I'm sorry that you lost your wife. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word, that was written down in the bible for us. Because God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your wife again here on earth?! For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.." ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out (John 5:28). He means that there will be a time on earth, when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for your future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friend, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the strength and the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel

      it wasnt easier for the oppressed. it was just easier to ignore a lot seemed easier because so many had to suffer in silence. you couldnt be gay. you couldnt divorce your husband. women couldnt get loans or a home. segregation required people of color tohave separate bathrooms and entrances and less of everything and on and on. it aeemed simpler because we ignored so much

After fifty-two years of marriage, I've come to the realization that the good Lord above has blessed me beyond measure with her unwavering love, children, and grandchildren. Women are truly exceptional; they make the best companions. The best things are simple! A man has struck it lucky when he discovers a good woman.

It was written by Van as a duet with Sir Cliff Richard on the album, "Avalon Sunset". Music critic, Patrick Humphries said, "It's the most manifest example of Morrison's Christian commitment". "Cash Box" declared that, "If George Harrison could have a hit, praising Hare Krishna with, "My Sweet Lord", Van could definitely do it with his totally engaging, "Whenever God Shines His Light" (which praises the One True God).

    Heard this song the other day. Rocked me to my core. Stirred old memories to life. It's creeping up on twelve years since you changed your address to heaven... Take away my sadness that you did and so much more my beautiful, loving wife. You made me the man I am. The dreams we shared, some did come true. The plans we made for our golden years I will try to fulfill my love. The days are long, sometimes the nights are even longer. It rained last week for a night. As I laid in our bed alone with the window ajar I listened to the rain softly falling and remembered when we would lie there whispering to one another not to drownd out the sound of the rain... I will do what God put me on earth to do with diligence and pride till if and when he does call for me for I long to see your smile and scoop you up in my arms and never more let you go...

Van has a unique way of singing about love, god, spiritual things and life in general. The man is a musical legend if not genius! One of my favorite Van songs is "Hymns to the Silence." I believe it to be one of the most beautiful songs ever produced, by anyone. Check it out and let me know what you think. peace.

      Hello, I read your comment and I want to let you know that I'm sorry that you lost your husband. You can be sure, he is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word, that was written down in the bible for us. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your husband again here on earth?! For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.." ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out (John 5:28). He means that there will be a time on earth, when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling you... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for your future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friend, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you all the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel

Van Morrison for me is 'Tupelo Honey', And The Healing Has Begun; ;Into The Mystic'' In The Garden', 'Enlightenment' etc.etc. This song is analogous with a great poet like Bob Dylan writing and recording 'Baby Stop Crying'. It's personal taste of course .

      Hello Ramona, I'm very sorry that you lost your parents, you can be sure, they are now safe in God's memory. But God promises you a time, when you will be able to see them again here on earth. Revelations 21:3-5 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune. In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says ..."come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves. For my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.” Dear Ramona, if you are interested I send you an very hopegiving article with the theme ,,good news from God" www.jw.org/en/library/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/ and I'm sure that this article will build you up, because the future look's much better than most of the people expect because God loves you and what he promises will not fail. I wish you all the best for your future and send you my best regards, Michel

    When my wife and I were dating way back when, we had an argument that resulted in a temporary separation. I don't even remember what it was about now. When we talked and fixed whatever was wrong, this song was playing. It became "our song". It was our choice for the first dance at our wedding and it saw regular play in our homes over the years. I lost her 5 1/2 years ago. Whenever I hear this song, my entire life with her replays like a movie. 27 years together and gone in a flash. I think this is the most beautiful song ever written.

    This is one of those rare pieces of music that belongs on a special list of some kind... The way the backing music is played, the voice of van morrison, it all comes together, perfectly..... I have Van's album " moon dance"... One of those that the whole thing is good, never gets old.. Etc... The first time I heard it was early 70,'s on an 8 track tape.. I knew, I had to have it...

    I sent this classic to a dear, long time friend after hearing he was hit with Covid. It is helping me today after hearing from his family that he is on a ventillator. My dear big man, a marine, a retired police inspector, a hazmat instructor, and 27 years of treasured friendship. I am ever grateful we spoke before he was hospitalized. And told him l love him. I will always love you Matt.
