Introduction
Hey there! Let me tell you about a song that’s been like a warm hug for my soul—”In the Time That You Gave Me” by Joey & Rory. If you’re not familiar with Joey & Rory, they were a husband-and-wife duo whose music was all about heartfelt storytelling, and this song is a perfect example of their genuine artistry.
Imagine sitting on a porch with your best friend, the sun setting on a perfect day. That’s the kind of vibe this song gives off. It’s deeply introspective, focusing on the preciousness of time and the legacy we leave behind. The lyrics are like a gentle reminder to cherish every moment we have and make the most of the time we’re given. It’s the kind of song that, no matter how many times you hear it, makes you pause and reflect on your own life.
What’s really special about “In the Time That You Gave Me” is how it manages to be both comforting and inspiring. Joey’s voice, with its raw emotion and sincerity, paired with Rory’s heartfelt harmonies, creates a beautiful tapestry of sound. It’s impossible not to feel moved when listening to it. The song seems to speak directly to the heart, urging us to live with intention and love fiercely.
This track also holds a poignant place in the duo’s history. Joey Feek’s courageous battle with cancer and her unwavering spirit added an extra layer of depth and meaning to their music. Knowing the personal challenges they faced only enhances the emotional impact of this song.
So, have you ever thought about what you’d like to be remembered for? This song might just inspire you to ponder that question. It’s a touching reminder that while our time here is finite, the love and memories we create can be eternal. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend giving it a spin. It’s one of those songs that sticks with you long after the music fades.

Lyrics
In the time that you gave me
Did I give all I could give?
Did I love all I could love?
Did I live all I could live?
Was my faith in your grace strong enough to save me?
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave me?
In the time that you gave me
Did I face the devil down?
Did I make him turn away every time I stood my ground?
If today is the day you should decide to take me
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave?
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
And as the hour glass empties, no it won’t even phase me
If I did all I could do in the time that you gave me
