Theme Song

A know alot of people who should probably say that they have a Theme Song. One that says what you just can't seem to to put any better. One that says something about who you are and what you're about. I have one: "Love Song to A Savior" by Jars of Clay. This song honestly puts into words my heart's cry and what I'm about. Here are the lyrics:

In open fields of wild flowers, she breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us and we will come running
and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray,
"I want to fall in love with You"

It seems too easy to call you "Savior",
Not close enough to call you "God"
So as I sit and think of words I can mention
to show my devotion
"I want to fall in love with You"

"My heart beats for You"

That's it, word-for-word. It says so much of who I am and of the journey that I'm on. It seems like everything I learn about God is just an attempt to fall more in love with him. I feel like so much of life (all of life should be like this, but I'm not there yet) to me is like a romance between me and the Lord. "In open fields of wildflowers..." I've for sometime now loved fields and the ocean, both seem to go on forever and ever, beauty that never ceases. I've always drempt about running through fields of flowers, so this part really connects with me personally. "She breathes the air and flies away..." Gosh, it's funny because this is so true. I love the smell of the wind, or rather what the wind feels like against my skin and so breathing the air and flying away with God speaks so many of the volumes of my desires. "She thanks her Jesus for the daisies and the roses in no simple language...". Holy cow! That's it. I love finding God in a the little things and prayer is never a simple language. So yes, like I said before, this song definately connects with me on a deep level. I won't breakdown every phrase for you and explain why but if any of you know me pretty well you'll know that this song really does speak my soul's cry and my life's pursuit. You'll notice once you get to know me that I connect with music on a really spiritual level (that sounds all mystical a weird, but that's not how I mean it). God really speaks to me through the words of songs!
