Anyway listening to that song got me thinking of my various Our Song in my past relationships... With DA it was Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. I will never forget the time when he called and played and sung the song to me over the phone. Corny... I know!
Then there was BM - our song was I Can't Make You Love Me by George Michael. How I KILLED the song then lah... a friend of mine got so fed up she almost killed me!
Then with AI, it was The Reason by Hoobastank.
Today as I was doing my quiet time... something farnee happened... That song played! "This is my desire" by Don Moen. (Well it has been done by various singers)
See, this song, God and I - we have a history. I have been worship leading since the age of 13 - 14 and it was only much later in life I realised the impact of what I was doing to my spiritual life and to others. When I was 18, God and I hit a draught season (my fav phrase right now...) and I wasnt talking to God. A preacher said, whatever we do in spirit, and that includes the songs we sing, he will take it literally, so I stopped singing as well. This song was the hardest because the words were so simple yet somehow so powerful and even then I knew this was not some simple chorus, but a song had depth and a heart-wrenching meaning that would surely bring many to their knees... bring me to my knees and I worried if God were to take it literally. So I mimed the song... and even then, it was still difficult...
Half a year later, I reconciled my issues with God - wasnt easy, but He was and forever merciful. And since then, this song has played a strange pertinent part in my spiritual life and our relationship. Every time I hear this song I know He is reaching out to me because either 2 things happen - 1) I am at a point of crisis and need to be brought to my knees whilst He gently reminds of what should take First Place in my life, OR, I know something is going to happen - and I dont mean in a bad way - in a good way. A spiritual moment with God that amazes me, humbles me and I am in that state of awe. Not that I do not have those moments regularly, but it is an extra-special moment where He chooses to shower me with His love.
Like this morning.
I really dont know what will be our song for my next relationship... but I can without a doubt say nothing can beat this song between God and I...
