Song of Love - Rebecca St. James

,

Okay, I'm like on blogging-fire today or something...or I have insomnia. Could be either. Could be both.

I checked out this teaching video. I kind of liked this song as it was played on the radio. I think I thought it was another "Jesus is my boyfriend"-types of songs -- you know, the kind where you can't really tell if it's a song about/to Jesus or if it's a song about someone you're dating. There is a difference between those two types of relationships and there should be a difference between how the two are written/sung about. Why? Because it's God, the Creator, Sustainer & Orchestrator of the Universe, not just some boyfriend.

However, after I've actually seen/spent some time pondering the lyrics, heard what was behind the song and heard how it sounds acoustically...I like it a lot more! There are some really good themes buried in "pop" worship song. If I had heard it acoustically first, I think I would have paid more attention to the lyrics/theme of the song.

Aaaanyway, here's the chord chart to the song. Enjoy & praise!
