I was so amazed by this girls singing that it lead me to look closely at the words of the song and was quite struck by by the things I found. Here are just two:
1. The song seems to be about King David!
2. There are some amazing words.
The most amazing, to me, are:
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
What this line said to me is that real love is not about when it's easy, when you feel your a winner. Real love is when it hurts.True love is there in the deepest darkest hours, when all hope seems lost, when it cannot hurt any more that it does right now. Love finds it's greatest expression in our greatest pain, when you love that which hurts you the most.
I'm writing this on Good Friday, the day that God still loved us when it hurt the most, more than we can ever know.
"But
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us."
Jesus on the cross, God's cold and broken Hallelujah.
