Love Songs

Friends,
A girlfriend suggested a year ago to listen to love songs as if my Savior was singing to me. This has deepened my love for Jesus and now I sing them back to him. They may not be "christian" songs per se, but the heart intent is the same if not a greater form of worship to Him, for me.

Entering QFC today at lunch, I discovered the grocery store music was just beginning Kenny Rogers singing "Lady". So bear with me. I immediately felt giddy and special and thanked my Lord for this special treat. While I was wandering the store "singing" this to myself, (and sometimes out loud), I discovered it was a duet. Parts of the song were Him, (my lover/savior/knight in shining armor/my Jesus) and parts were me, (princess/gushing with love and "special-ness").

Lady
Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you (J)
You have made me what I am and I am yours (me)
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you (J)
Let me hold you in my arms forever more (J)

You have gone and made me such a fool (me)
I'm so lost in your love (me)
And oh, we belong together (me)
Won't you believe in my song? (J)

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you (me)
You have come into my life and made me whole (me)
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning (me)
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear (me)
In my eyes I see no one else but you (me)
There's no other love like our love (J)
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me (J)

I've waited for you for so long (J/me)
Lady, your love's the only love I need (J/me)
And beside me is where I want you to be (J/me)
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know (J/me)
You're the love of my life, you're my lady! (J/me)

Write me a comment and tell me YOUR favorite love song with Jesus! Or when God surprises you with His intimacy and where it happened. Because He will!

So, its time to go on Itunes and buy "Lady" to add my love songs with Jesus CD.

Blessings,
DIG
