There are many times in life when we offer all we are to God, we promise to live for him and to give him all we have just to find ourselves, soon after that, doing the same things that we promised we would never do again. This song, by Derek Webb just kicks me in the face…
I am so easily satisfied by the call of lovers less wild.
I am thankful that, even after denying Jesus, simple men like Peter had the chance to come back and start again. I am thankful that I have been able to come back, time and time again, after messing up, after wallowing in the mud and eating all sorts of crap, I received chances that I did not deserve.
Mercy.
Here’s the song by Derek Webb… The Wedding Dress.
Lyrics:
If you could love me as a wife and for my wedding gift, your life. Should that be all I’ll ever need or is there more I’m looking for. And should I read between the lines and look for blessings in disguise to make me handsome, rich, and wise. Is that really what you want?
I am a whore I do confess, I put you on just like a wedding dress and I run down the aisle. I’m a prodigal with no way home but I put you on just like a ring of gold and I run down the aisle to you.
So could you love this bastard child, though I don’t trust you to provide, with one hand in a pot of gold and with the other in your side. I am so easily satisfied by the call of lovers less wild, that I would take a little cash over your very flesh and blood.
Because money cannot buy a husband’s jealous eye when you have knowingly deceived his wife.
I love this man. So awesome. Your words. The video. All good.
Awesome, thanks!
mmm…speaking to my heart.
i am so undeserving of a 1st chance…let alone a 2nd and so on. only God could love like that. all i am is pit worthy – yet He sees potential. what a great God!!!
Potential, thank God he sees it.
Ouch.
