I've had this thought for a while; every beautiful love song ever written is a love song of Christ's love for you. If it's truly beautiful, it's truly spoken to you from Him, and for you to answer back, in the quiet of your heart.

I had a more profound experience with this today because it said something to me that I hadn't known before, which was quite startling at the time but obvious afterwards. I was listening to 'Caribou' - 'Can’t Do Without You', and as I heard the words 'I can't do without you', I naturally thought about my need for Christ; that I can't do without Him, but in that instant, I heard God say:

No, you don't understand; you're hearing it wrong.

It is I who can't do without you.

Sometimes, we're on the wrong side of the love song.

"I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me."
