It’s a GREAT song! One of my favorites. By the way, Misty Edwards has two new albums out as of 12.28.09 if anyone didn’t already know. They are titled “Fling Wide” (live, full band) and “Point of Life” (studio album, great for devo times!) (Ha, there’s my plug! They are great albums!)

Lots of songs.. How many do you do in a 3 month period? Do you try to repeat?

Actually, You Won’t Relent has been on our hearts as well.

I don’t know why the line “jealousy demanding as the grave” would be an issue though — God loves us so much that He doesn’t want us to perish (the eternal “grave” — Hell, if you will, where we’d be without Him forever), but if we aren’t His, that’s where we’ll end up. Of course, we can probably see that line in other ways as well, but that’s the way it strikes me. I’m probably wrong though! It does say that He is a “jealous” God though (Exodus 20:4-5) and He surely wants ALL of us.

Found this interesting!

“The root idea in the Old Testament word jealous is to become intensely red. It seems to refer to the changing color of the face or the rising heat of the emotions which are associated with intense zeal or fervor over something dear to us. In fact, both the Old and New Testament words for jealousy are also translated “zeal.” Being jealous and being zealous are essentially the same thing in the Bible. God is zealous—eager about protecting what is precious to Him.”

Wow, thanks for getting me thinking tonight!
