But I will give my life to win your heart
And I will tear apart my soul
I'll give away all I know to bring you home
For all that is true, for all of the way
With all of my life
You hold my heart, you have my love
You are my bride
- 'Desert Lands' by Trading Yesterday
every time i listen to this song,
it means so much to me because so much of it is true.
yet, i'm so amazed at how much God loves us,
how far He will go to bring us back, to redeem us.
`You traded our love for a life of desert lands
that's what we do, that's what i do.
how we go and trade God's love for so many other things. how we've traded it for riches, for power, for relationships that most times don't last, for pleasures, for so many other things that are not worth it in comparison to His great love.
things that turn our lives into a life of desert lands. it's painful, no doubt. dry, hot, lost.
yet He loves us still to give all to bring us back.
i'm touched, awed, amazed by this love.
a love so selfless, so sacrificing, so pure.
♥
thank you, Love.
because of You, there is reason and there is hope.
i love you.
