Reflecting after 6 days

So beyond the devotional, I listen to lots of music. I went through a period in my life when I focused on listening to God through secular mediums. I believe that he is speaking through everything that we pay attention to. I always tend to find him in song lyrics by secular artists. From Eminem, to Ani Difranco, to The Weepies. I am trying to find God wherever he might seem to be hiding.

This week, I give you The Weepies and their wonderful song. "Take it from me."

What can I compare you to, a favorite pair of shoes?
Maybe my bright red boots if they had wings
Funny how we animate colorful objects saved
Funny how it's hard to take a love with no strings.

But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me
But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me (we`ve got a good life).

What can I compare you to, a window the sun shines through?
Maybe the silver moon, a smile rising
The magic of the fading day, satellites on parade
A toast to the plans we've made to live like kings.

I lose my breath despite the air
When the rain falls down I give in to despair
Pink magnolia in winter she doesn't care
if you don't show up to have another cup.

What can I compare you to, when everything looks like you?
I get a bit confused with every Spring
Flowers that bloom your eyes, hummingbirds side by side
My heart won't stay entirely in this rib caging

This song is a love ballad between father and child. My life sings with lyrics like--
"What can I compare you to, when everything looks like you?
I get a bit confused with every Spring
Flowers that bloom your eyes, hummingbirds side by side
My heart won't stay entirely in this rib caging"

And all in the same noise I can hear Jesus asking me to take his love from him in the chorus.

Jesus--Please be the chorus of my life. The savior of my verses, the great lines and the not so great. Perhaps one day, I will be able to understand how "to take a love with no strings."
