Make You Feel My Love...

I usually don't use love songs as "spiritual songs" or whatever you would call it, but tears were pouring today when I thought about how God has "sang" these lyrics to me throughout my story. When I first heard it I thought "aw...this is so an us (me & nate) song". But as I was getting ready today to delve into some parts of my story the lyrics and different scenes popped into my head. For the first time I really heard the incredible vulnerability and woo-ing...much like God's love. It was like He was "singing" me a little song about how much He wants me to feel His love.

Like I said...I don't like spiritualizing (is that even a word?) love songs. But for this one I can't help but think about how much my heart thirsts for that kind of love from my God.

I don't know how to upload a video from YouTube to my blog (so sad...i know), but I have the link here so you can go listen to it. :-) Did I mention I also got the sheet music so I can play it on the piano...yep, thought it would be something beautiful to learn how to play.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But i would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry i'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that i wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that i wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

by Adele

I love Adele's version of that song. I cry almost every time I sing it.
I enjoyed reading about your encounter with a Romantic God today.

This is one of my all time favorite love songs in the history of time. I've never thought of it the way you described it here. Lovely Mal.
