In the early to mid seventies....yes, there was life before the millineum, I was a huge fan of Jim Croce. Many of you may not remember him. He was a great folk singer during the time of John Denver and other singers whose lyrics told stories and tugged at the heart.
I loved Time in a Bottle, Photographs and Memories, and Operator. All soft melody songs, with a message, if you will. The other day I was trying to type the lyrics to one of his songs and I typed it rather quickly so that I would not forget to write about it later.
In weeks to come, I went back to my notes and discovered that instead of writing "I'll have to say I Love You in a Song" I had written....I'll have to say I Love You in a Son. What truth in that statement. Think of all the love songs you have heard and recall the ways love is expressed, the examples used for expressing love and all the attention those songs get.
I don't believe it was coincidence that I wrote what I wrote, after all, that did happen. Many years ago, God showed us how much he loved us and he didn't do it through a song, he did it through his Son.
Oh I know it's kind of late I hope I didn't wake you.. but what I have to say can't wait I know you'd understand everytime I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong so I have to say I love you in a song.
How many times does God try to get our attention and we are too busy, to tired, too overwhelmed and we just don't listen to His voice. He took care of that once and for all....He displayed his love for us by sending his Son to die on the cross so that we might have eternal life.
In a sense, God said "I'll have to say I love you in a Son..." God knew how to say and how to show He loves us. That's how you say I love you!
For God so loved the world, that He gave his only beloved Son that whosever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
