I'm always surprised when I hear a song, and I'm thinking, "What an awesome Christian song", but then one or two of the lyrics makes me question my assumption and I check out the song only to discover that it's not actually a song about God. Another example, besides the one I'm posting for you here is "Where You Are".
I think this song has two words in it that, if changed, would entirely change the song.
"Before Your Love"
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for the world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
And I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived...
Before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams, seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don't know howI'd survive without your kiss
Cuz you've given me
A reason to exist
I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived...
before your love
I'd never lived...
Before your love
And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you've breathed your love into me just in time
I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never livedI'd never lived
Before...Your...Love

Isn't that interesting how that happens? Unredeemed humanity lives in the shadow of what could be. WHat is supposed to be. Always trying to grasp what we really want, we fly wide of the mark and take hold of temporal things, but even to attempt it is to acknowledge that we need...something. A love song for example, while it may exalt a feeling or a person beyond what is appropriate, it at least shows the deep need for human beings to be loved.
