will be loved by My Father

Switching from this to this. Might have made the switch sooner if I actually payed attention to the lyrics beyond a passing listening. The lyrics make me recall an earlier post where I assert that you that me that we know absolutely squat about love.

The world's notions of romantic love dooms mankind to think of His love in very human conceptions. Those who've never known the world's notions of love may never have an inkling of how much better His love is than what the eye can lust for. But never having known love, they might miss the first stirrings. Those that have known the world's notions compare the physicality of world love with the mental and spiritual aspects of real love and choose immediacy.

All of them, all of them so mistaken. They sell themselves short. The world's notions are hypothetical impossibilities. His love was real to depths greater than we will ever see. What the answer to the call really is, is the admission that you know that there is a greater definition of love out there that you want to experience; that you cannot define love without a blood-stained cross.
