Whats in a Name?
So it just occured to me that I never really wrote about why I chose to title my blog "Say wont You Say". Say Wont You Say is the title of my favorite Jennifer Knapp song. The Lyrics are as such:
Say won't you say, Say that you love me,
With love ever love, Love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by you.
Every morning I have a chance to rise and give my all.
But every afternoon I find I have only wasted time in light of Your awe.
Isn't love amazing,
I forgot how to speak
Knowing You are near and I am finally free.
My eyes fear to close this reckless letting go is hard to bear
On the edge of all I need,
Still I cling to what I see and what have I there?
Bred my own disaster who have I to blame?
When all I need is waiting to be fanned to flame.
Yeah, I opened up my eyes to see You standing there,
Oh I can barely breath,
I can hardly bare, all the love I feel for You inside I hope You feel it now.
I just think this song is such a great picture of honesty with the Lord about ourselves and also about our overwhelming Love for Him. It's about our deepest need and desire to be known and loved by the Creator of the universe, and feeling completely unworthy. I feel like the verse that says, "every morning I have the chance to rise and give You my all, but every afternoon I find I have only wasted time in light of Your awe" isn't that so true of many of us on a daily basis?! But, seeing that even though we are going to find ourselves in that state most days, that the Lord's love is not dependent on what we did that day. Finding freedom in the fact that His Love is so consistent is such a beautiful thing I think. So there you have it~The essence of Say Won't You Say
Say won't you say, Say that you love me,
With love ever love, Love everlasting
All my devotion put into motion by you.
Every morning I have a chance to rise and give my all.
But every afternoon I find I have only wasted time in light of Your awe.
Isn't love amazing,
I forgot how to speak
Knowing You are near and I am finally free.
My eyes fear to close this reckless letting go is hard to bear
On the edge of all I need,
Still I cling to what I see and what have I there?
Bred my own disaster who have I to blame?
