One of the things I love about Grey’s Anatomy (the television show, not the big book) is the music. I have been introduced to some amazing musicians and songs through the show’s constant background soundtrack. The final song of tonight’s episode so grab my heart that I just had to find it and buy/download it. It took about two hours to ferret out (ABC apparently doesn’t update it’s music guide page until after the episode has aired in every time zone, much to my frustration), but I found it. It’s called "I Will Show You Love" by Kendall Payne. And it is good. So good. It is my story, — all our stories — from God’s perspective. Man, I love Him! He is sooo good.
I’ve posted the lyrics to "I Will Show You Love" here for your spirit’s edification. Read. This is God’s love letter to you.
I will show you love like you’ve never loved before
I will go the distance and back for more if you just say the wordYou will come alive again and call the trying times your friend
The pain that you have suffered through will never get the best of you
You will hope in something real that won’t depend on how you feel
When you call my name then I will answer, answerI am on your side though the wind and waves beat against your faith
You were on my mind when the world was made
Trust in me my child, Trust in me my childWalk out on the water where you have no control
So scared to death of failure you sacrifice your soul, please let that goYou have climbed an uphill road, You have worn a heavy load
You have cried through endless nights and nearly given up the fight
Watched your dreams like falling stars the heartaches made you who you are
Now looking back you see that I have always been thereI am on your side though the wind and waves beat against your faith
You were on my mind when the world was made
Trust in me my child, Trust in me my childWhere you gonna hide? Where you gonna hide from Me?
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go that I can’t see?I have heard you cry and it breaks my heart for I love you so
I would never lie, this is not the end there is still a hopeI am on your side though the wind and waves beat against your faith
You were on my mind when the world was made
Trust in me my child, Trust in me my childWords and Music by Kendall Payne
Song available on iTunes

Thank you so much! i just finished watching Grey’s which i TiVo’d because i was at work. And i started searching for this song on google. And so random stranger, thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. Grey’s just ended in my time zone (Pacific), and I immediately logged on to look for that song using the lyrics I heard. ABC.com was a bust, but then I saw your post. This is great. I am so excited to get this song.
Thanks again,
Elizabeth
I too loved the song. If you’re ever in need of help trying to figure out what you just heard on TV, check out this sight. They update pretty quickly too! 🙂 http://www.tunefind.com/
I saw “Grey’s” this evening and determined before going to bed that I would find and download what I now know to be Kendall Payne’s song. The information that you provided were a tremendous help. Thank you, a thousand times, thank you!
Thank you for uploading the lyrics and information about the song, when I heard it I was so touched. I kept reversing it to get the words and some of them lead me to your site. Thank you.
Kendall was a worship leader at the conference that me and my high school team served at this summer in Hungary. Just like her writing, she is authentic, deep and emotive when leading worship live.
I totally agree, Greys does have a lot of great music!
Thanks! I recently finished watching episode 4, season 4 and strait after search parts of the lyrics searching for the song you’ve identified for us.
God bless your soul!
I also love the music on Grey’s and suggest using the following website for tracking down the music. I went to the site this morning and had the song in less than 5 minutes. . .
It would help if I gave the link: http://www.greysanatomyinsider.com/

Wow! I’m blown away by how many people found me. Welcome everyone! Thanks for stopping by.
Tony — that is so cool!! I wandered around her website for a while and was impressed with what I saw and read but it’s good to have my “intuition” backed up by someone’s experiences. I really love her music and I think I’m going to go ahead and do the “complete my album” on iTunes to get the whole thing. So far all the lyrics I’ve read of the songs speak to either something I’ve already gone through and learned, or to something I’m going through now. I love it when that happens. 🙂
Everyone, while it’s nice to have links and all, please DO visit Kendall’s website. She has a guestbook you can sign and let her know how much her song touched your heart. Go. Now. Give her some encouragement! 🙂
My personal favorite of Kendall’s is Scratch…Also used on Grey’s!!
I too heard this song on Grey’s and am so excited that I’m not the only one who loved it! 🙂 I love how God works!
I am a pastor and working on my sermon for tomorrow. During my break I watched Grey’s and ended up on your website listening to Kendall and reading your Blog. I am impressed by your perseverance, perspective and gifts!
Like everyone else I heard these lyrics on Grey’s Anatomy and like so many times before I googled them to find the music that I MUST have — these songs have become the sountrack of my life — this one brings particular comfort. thank you for posting it
This is amazing – I just finished watching the episode and your site/blog was a Godsend…Great song – thanks for noting it for all of us! Peace and Love be with you in God 🙂
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG.

hey there. i too loved the song. i read your post, and figured that this might be helpful.. http://greysharmony.blogspot.com/
the music list’s updated, and it also offers free downloads of the songs ü
I just watched this episode and immediately tried finding it. Luckily, it took me to your page =]
Thank you for posting the lyrics. I’m making a “Surrender” CD for the girls at work (as in “giving it up to God’s will”, not “giving up”), and this song is definitely going to be on it.
Also, if you don’t know about this poet already, look up Brian Andreas. His work is available through Storypeople, and I’ll tell you, his work is as pure as this. Poignant, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always heartfelt and true. If this song touched you, Brian’s work might also. Enjoy!
