Wedding

There's something about weddings and love songs that moves me.. :)

Was at a wedding dinner tonight and they had this song playing. Had a ring on my finger and it felt like my Beloved expressing the same sentiments as the words of this song. Yes, it's romantic... but it's more than that. Sigh...I felt swept away and so satisfied and secure and safe as they played this song and I heard His heart as He sang this just for me. :)


If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

from the song "Nothing's gonna change my love for you" by Glenn Medeiros

Thoughts running through my mind:-

I don't want to live without you

Jesus chose to stay. When the soldiers came to arrest Him, He could have called angels to help him (Matthew 26:53) If He had gone back, He would have returned to the Father but without His bride.

I'm reminded of a scene in The Passion as Jesus, His back already scourged, was handed the cross. Someone mocked Him (paraphrasing), "Look! This guy's crazy. He's embracing the cross." I believe that happened (even though it was not recorded in the bible). I believe that as He struggled physically to carry the cross, He knew the end was near. He embraced the cross because He saw us. Finally. Reconciled. His.

He went to the cross because He didn't want to live the rest of eternity, without His bride, me.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you

What security! Nothing! ever!

You ought know by now how much I love you

See how He reassures me? He doesn't take me for granted even though He's God :) And I think, perhaps, a little exasperated here. Oh, He feels as we do. Love, joy, sorrow, regret, pain, jealous and yes, exasperation! But still, He's here!

I'll never ask for more than your love

It's not about earning His love. Sometimes I wonder, that's all You want? My love? Who am I that You should desire me? Ask me for my love? Court me? Pursue me?

So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

Wow, to see forever. Forever with Him! To see beyond! Dream beyond.. He'll help me... setting eternity in my heart. I wonder then if I understand. And I didn't care whether I understood or not. I just wanted to enjoy Him and follow Him for He loves me!
