Robbie’s Back
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 | Tags: Minister's Blog
After a three-year break from the limelight, Robbie Williams is back! Robbie is a natural born entertainer, a front man if ever there was one. But with that, is the uncomfortable truth that he has suffered badly from loneliness, insecurity, depression and various addiction problems. A quick glance through his back-catalogue of songs reveals as much. He’s nothing if not honest.
I’m intrigued, therefore, that his comeback single contains the chorus lines: Jesus died for me, Jesus tried for me.
I wonder what has led him to write such lyrics? Of course the definition of a Christian is just that: someone who believes that Jesus died for them.
I’ve never known the depths that Robbie has in his life but I’m in exactly the same place as him – dependent on God’s love of me.
It would be quite a story if Robbie was to declare himself a Christian, though I’ve no idea if his lyrics are personal or not. But I wish for him, as for everyone, the peace that comes from embracing the truth that Jesus died for me.

I love Robbie Williams and was interested in your comments regarding his new single. I also wondered about his lyrics and thought it would be great if he was to declare he was a Christian. After seeing him on the X Factor last week , he looked really happy and glad to back – very grateful of the support from the fans. Maybe he has started a new chapter in his life. Here’s hoping so!!
