this song is as close as i can relate to what i'm going to say...it's an old song by Vertical Horizon and the title is Everything You Want.
lately I've been thinking why do I love God? I'm still trying to make a short statement that non christians can understand without the Christianese words to confuse people. But my itunes was on random and that song played and it kinda felt aligned with my question...especially the chorus which goes..
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
except the 2nd to last line that says he means nothing to you, instead He means EVERYTHING to me....but most Christians don't know or forget WHY they love God. They say they love God, they worship God, they serve Him, but why? The answer to the question of WHY you love God should be a basic foundation of your faith. and the answer to why YOU love God, should be something personal, not a bible verse. It can be backed up by the verse but really your experience with God is the correct answer.
here's the song.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAV'NT HEARD, THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO FAMILY RETREAT, IF YOU CAN THINK OF A SONG THAT YOU LOVE, WOULD YOU MIND SHARING IT WITH ALL OF US AT RETREAT DURING SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL SONG SHARING? PLEASE TURN IN SONG TITLES TO ME OR JERRY BEFORE RETREAT PLEASE....AND THINK OF SOMETHING TO SHARE OF WHY YOU LOVE THE SONG TOO....THANKS

XD Steph! I remember this song!
I really like this song actually. It is cool how you were able to find a connection to God through this secular song. It is awesome to hear how you are going back to the foundation of your belief, the root that sprouted to all the acts/thoughts you have towards God today. Thank you for sharing this old song
