The Beauty of Seeing Things Through

Loving a person just the way they are, it's no small thing
It takes some time to see things through
Sometimes things change, sometimes we're waiting
We need grace either way

Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through

There's a lot of pain in reaching out and trying
It's a vulnerable place to be
Love and pride can't occupy the same spaces baby
Only one makes you free

Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through

If we go looking for offense
We're going to find it
If we go looking for real love
We're going to find it

So this is a song by a guy named Gordon Kennedy and a gal named Sara Groves. I'd heard of Sara before but not enough to recognize any of her stuff and this cd is a relatively new one to my collection. I haven't decided if I like her or not yet. The jury is still out. But some of her lyrics make me think.

We talked about reconciliation to God in Sunday school this past week. And this song made me think of that. I know she's talking about human relationships here, but it made me think about my relationship with Him. And how He's always willing to wait for me, love on me, and see things through with me. Now that's a lovely thought. The part about love and pride not being able to occupy the same place gets me. So does the being vulnerable part.

I'd write more, but I've gotta get back to work. Story of my life. Wink wink...

Well we all have to work sometime .... wait, I'm retired, we are not supposed to have to work - if only I could get my favorite wife to believe that. :) I think I hear the garden area calling me now - retirement is tough too. :) ec
