What did you guys think of this song? I thought it was a very good song that showed off LeAnn's amazing vocals very well. It's one of her best songs.

It's OK. It has a great intro, but then it sinks into bland balladry. It's nice and all, but certainly nothing that special.

I loved it. Great song. I hate all those contestants on "American Idol" who choose this song and think they can sing it.

This song was gawdawful. It doesn't matter whether or not her or someone from AI sang it; all versions are just as bad. From the first few seconds I thought it was going to be cool, and then she totally rips every shred of coolness from it and it becomes garbage.

Beautiful song with an incredible video. It peaked at #12 on my chart, but I still listen to it a lot today.

This song never really did anything for me, but I was glad to hear it this past week on AT10, after going for, what, at least two years without hearing it. The song was one of a handful songs AT20 purged from the chart during the ten-month period they used that warped Mediabase chart. As I recall, it was one of the songs that returned to the chart the week AT20 reverted back to the R&R chart, but fell off soon after)

On the US Music Survey this week Mark Wallengren mentioned this was the first song Leann produced herself.

it does appeal to the syruppy side, but i genuinely liked this song... i think the lyrics are just beautiful, even if you just read them.

I love this song, one of my favorites from LeAnn Rimes. My mom thought it was kind of crazy how she dressed in the video though, she was like "this song is about Jesus and she is half-naked!"

my favourite Leann Rimes song.
I love this song - the religious vibe is down my alley.

I never heard this until one day in the spring of 2001, when WIOG just played it out of nowhere. I was like "this is really good...what is this?" It wasn't until hearing it IDed on an AC station that I found out it was this song.
LeAnn has a number of great songs...I also enjoy "One Way Ticket", "How Do I Live", "Can't Fight the Moonlight", and "Life Goes On".

I thought that it was beautiful love song, however as a "saved" person I started thinking, 'This could be a gospel song for our church'. Then I found out later that it was a song about Jesus. Great song.

This is one of LeAnn's best. She is my favorite female vocalist of all genres and I am so glad she had the success she did with this song. It's perfect, her voice is flawless.

It's alright, like Trishia's version a little better, but LeAnn's is still decent.

This is one of the few singles from her pop music era that I really like. I'll take her Blue, This Woman, or Family singles any day.

Good song! Didn't know it at the time, but it's one I've come to enjoy more as the years go by.

Never a big fan of this song. In fact 2000 might be my least favorite year in country music, at least when I was a kid. I did a year end list in the Country Sub-board a couple months back and I struggled to come up with 30 (normally I do 50). Just seemed like country really moved towards that "Pop" flare with the years biggest hits, but then again that probably helped others come into country.

For me this is just "okay" but I still don't mind it that much.
