A Sunday Post

Today, I listened to Reba McEntire and Justin Timberlake's song, "The Only Promise that Remains". As the refrain repeated itself several times, I knew that it was intended to be a romantic love song. However, I found myself thinking that it could be God singing those lines to us. How poetic of me. Take a listen and tell me what you think.
Here's the link to youtube.com so you can hear Reba and JT perform it live on Oprah. This video is property of someone else's. I just wanted to give that person credit so they won't think I was stealing it from them, or anything.
By the way, here are the lyrics in case you can't quite understand what they're saying:
"When the ground beneath you starts a-shakin'
And you forget the place you came from
When you're lost and lookin' for your way home
Your way home to me
I'll come out and find you
When the world around you starts a-movin'
And you should wonder if I still love you
If you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home
And after all the sky is fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains.
When your doubts have got you thinkin', nothing's ever really sacred
And you're afraid you might believe in... Believe in me.
And I'll give you a reason.
Cause the world around us keeps on movin'
And there's no doubt that I still love you
So when you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside,
I'll make a light to guide you back home.
And after all the sky is fallin' ,
after all the water's washed away,
My love's the only promise that remains.
My love's the only promise that remains.
My love's the only promise that remains.
And after all the sky is fallin' down(After all the sky is fallin' down),
And after all the water's washed away(After all the water's washed away),
My love's the only promise that remains."
Now, doesn't that sound like a love song from God to us? How beautiful is that?

Honey, it is most definitely a song from God to us. I really believe that. Thank you for the YouTube link. I had not heard the song. Quite a number of Reba's songs can be taken as a song from God-- at least that is what I hear.
