Dennis Quaid's Heartfelt 'God Gets Lonely Too' Live Performance

Longtime Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid gave a moving and heartfelt live performance of "God Gets Lonely Too."

The most popular Bible verse, John 3:16, says that God loved the world so much that He decided to send His one and only Son to Earth. Jesus Christ would later willingly go to the cross, suffering and dying, paying for the sins of all humanity. Christ paid a debt none of us could have ever paid. He did only what He could have done.

Everything God does is borne out of love. He freely offers everyone that same love, forgiveness, mercy and grace, hoping that all will turn to Him and away from their lives of sin. Ultimately, whether to accept or reject God's gift of forgiveness and eternal salvation is up to us.

Human beings are fallen creatures, and whenever they turn away from God, it breaks His heart. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dennis sings "God Gets Lonely Too, a tune about how God can and does get lonely when we turn and run away from Him. It must break His heart whenever someone He loves so dearly rejects Him.

Dennis' song, which is beautifully written, is about God's heart and how humans, with their disobedience and sin, cause Him pain. Dennis creates a powerful but heartbreaking picture of how Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden and our sinful ways have caused Him much pain. All have turned and run away from Him.

The song's chorus is simple but incredibly powerful.

"Now, God gets lonely too

And just like me and you

When we turn away, it hurts

Even God can get the blues"

Sin does nothing but hurts and destroys everything that it encounters. It rips apart families and marriages and ruins careers. It also causes Him pain. But He is a loving and faithful heavenly Father who is always quick to forgive.

Romans 5:8 "But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us."
