Candace Cameron Bure, Katy Nichole on Crying Out to God
By Movieguide® Contributor
In a new episode of Cameron Candace Bure’s podcast, singer-songwriter Katy Nichole joined Bure to break down her song “Please.”
“I get this itch sometimes, like I’ll get up in the morning and I’ll have this just itch where I need to go write a song,” Nichole told Bure. “I don’t know what it i. It’s just in me.”
One of those creative “itches” led to the conception of her song, “Please.”
“With this song, I feel like what I was getting at when I was writing it was just, I need you, God,” Nichole said. “Like there’s no other word for it than I just, I need you,”
“I really [wanted to] give people something that they can feel like they can cry to the Lord,” Nichole continued.
Nichole wrote the song with songwriter Jeff Pardo. He also helped write Nichole’s song, “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” and co-wrote We Are Messengers’ “Come What May.”
She continued, “He helped me really hone in…the idea that I had,” Nichole said. “Because I really just wanted to write a cry for the Lord. Like, saying like, this is what I need, but I don’t know exactly how to say it other than to say, ‘Please help me.’”
Bure shared her enthusiasm for the song’s message and said, “It’s okay to cry out to God. God can handle the big stuff. And I think that a lot of us become afraid, like, ‘Oh, God doesn’t wanna hear me complain.’ Or ‘I just say all these negative things, they run through my mind. Eventually, God’s going to hate me for it and God’s not gonna wanna hear it anymore.’ And it’s not true. That’s just a lie from the enemy. It’s a lie from the devil, straight up, and God always wants to hear it, and it’s okay.”
Some of the lyrics to “Please” read, “God, I’ve fallen in too deep. It’s nothing You can’t see. I know this desperate soul needs saving. Lord, have mercy on me. Come find me in my need. I’m just a wound away from breaking.”
Movieguide® recently reported on the inspiration behind Nichole’s impactful song about relationships and regret, “Things I Wish I Would’ve Said:”
‘I was very broken by seeing how many relationships are broken by like politics and really just like different disagreements,’ Nichole said.
‘If you say something that you shouldn’t have said, you should go back and apologize. The ‘I’m sorrys’ are always worth it. The ‘I love yous’ are always worth it,’ she told Bure.
