At Grace Camp this past weekend, Art Henkle sang this song by Bob Dylan and challenged us all to listen for our Father's voice in the lyrics. The version below is by Grammy winner, Adele. I encourage you to follow along with the lyrics below the video as you listen to her sing it. We can hear the voice of our Father's love in many places if we have ears to hear.
"Make You Feel My Love"
When the rain is blowin' in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawlin' down the avenue
No, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
Though storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love.
The mind blowing reality of the Father's love is that regardless of how smart any of us thinks we are, we aren't that smart to come up with as in this case the lyrics penned by Bob Dylan.
ReplyDeleteLet's suppose Bob wasn't then or now "saved" why would that be enough to stop a loving Father from giving (sharing with) Bob those lyrics, let alone pointing out to him, He is loved!
I agree 100%, Rich. I often teach that all creativity is from our God - the only one who possesses the capacity to create.
