God's heart in Songs.

"I'm in Love" by Merchant Band.

This song has been tripping me up the last couple days. The intimacy of it hits so hard on my heart. The personalization intensity of the lyrics has had my mind wrapped up for awhile now. So I went to the bible.

"You are good, I adore.
As I should, I want more."

Song of Solomon 1:4
Take me with you; come, let’s run!
The king has brought me into his bedroom.
Young Women of Jerusalem
How happy we are for you, O king. We praise your love even more than wine.
Young Woman
How right they are to adore you.

"You are kind, I bow.
All my life, I pour out."

Psalm 21:14 My life is poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax,
melting within me.

"I've never known another as kind in this life, as you."

Psalm 116:5 How kind the Lord is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!

"When all the others cross the road and pass me by, but not you."

Luke 10
Parable of the Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling on a trip from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.
32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him.
34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.
35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’
36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.
37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”
Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

"I'm in love, from the moment that I saw your face.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

"I'm in love, you never turn away your gaze"

Job 34:21 For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do.

"I'm in love, now the reason for the rest of my days is to love you. I will love you.
I'm in love with you. For all that you've done. I can't thanks you enough"

1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Psalm 89:2 Your unfailing love will last forever.Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

All of Psalm 136

1 Corinthians 3:18 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!

"Because you loved me first

Ephesians 1:4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.

"You love me at my worst"

1 Timothy 1:15 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all.

Very good song!
