On and On

This is going to sound a bit like Alexa's post, but there's this song by Tenth Avenue North On their new album called "On and On" that I love. I love how some of their songs on this album are done from God's point of view. Most Christian songs aren't done like that, and I think it's kind of clever. The lyrics are this:

Love, I have waited for you
And love, I was wounded for you
Won't you look into my eyes
Through the pain and through your pride
And find I am true
You're the one I can't deny
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my life for you
So what are you waiting for?

On and on we go
Come love take my hand
On and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began
Come love take my hand

Life is waiting for you
And life I have given to you
Tell me what else can I do
What more have I left to prove?
That I am what you need
Still I will hold on to your heart
Through the chaos and the dark
When your eyes fail to see
So what are you waiting for?

On and on we go
Come love take my hand
On and on we go
As you run away again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began

Broken I was for you
Broken I'm still for you
My broken heart breaks for you
Broken I'm over you

On and on we go
On and on we go

On and on we go
Come love take my hand
On and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began
Come love take my hand
Come love take my hand
Come take my hand

I love how they name us "Love" in God's eyes. The idea that he would look at us and say "Love, don't worry," or something that totally gives me goosebumps. It says, "won't you look into my eyes, through the pain and through your cries and find that I am true." I think that shows how much God wants to be there for us no matter what and wants us to love Him too. It goes on to "You're the one I can't deny (Psalm 86:1-2) and I will never leave your side (Matthew 28:20), I gave my life for you (John 3:16), so what are you waiting for?" The first phrase shows how He'll be there to answer our prayers when we believe that He's there full-heartedly. The second, shows how omniscient God is and that He is wherever we are and wherever we will ever be, protecting us and looking over us. The third, tells how much God loves us that He would send His one and only son to die on the cross for us. The fourth basically says why wouldn't you believe in me? Why wouldn't you follow me if you had the choice?

I know that's only the first verse, and there's a lot more to talk about but I'm kind of in a rush :)
