It was still morning, but mentally I was feeling tired so I decided I’d leave for lunch and find someplace quiet. I usually sit in my car but today I figured I’d sit at a table and look out the window while I ate. I had a book with me I was trying to read but I kept drifting in my focus so I put it back in my bag.
I don’t know how long the song had been playing but a verse the singer was moaning began to permeate my mind. He literally sang over and over “don’t let me go”. I’d never heard it before and I can’t even say much about the tune. All I could hear were the words “don’t let me go”.
I sat there for a while and contemplated the meaning of those words. It’s the cry all the world over but are we listening? So many people just want to be loved, just want to feel safe. I wonder sometimes how listening to our songs must break our heavenly Father’s heart. We want so badly to be loved and He is right there just waiting for us to notice Him; to change our sad songs to ones of joy.
