Unfailing Love - Jimmy Needham

Is a devotional blog an appropriate place for a love song? I mean a love song love song...like a man and a woman love song? Oh yeah. No doubt in my mind. First, Solomon's Song, chapter 4 verses 6 to 10:


⁶ Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.



 ⁷ All beautiful you are, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
 ⁸ Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions' dens
and the mountain haunts of the leopards.
 ⁹ You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.

¹⁰ How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!

And then I'm looking for another song tonight and I bump into this wonderful little tune for the first time. I really think it's worth a listen if you have a moment, kinda R&B, a little blue-eyed soul...

Unfailing Love (Kelly's Song)

You’re my unfathomable precious unimaginable joy
And you’re exceedingly exciting and abundantly more than I could ask for
With your hand in mine we will pass through time and space
And every second, every minute, every hour of every day I’ll say

My unfailing love for you will not be moved
For you will not be moved
My unfailing love for you
And though the mountains be shaken
And the hills be removed
Yet my unfailing love for you

He tells a story of a King coming in glory and He is
And that same Man who devised that plan united ours with His
And so hand in hand we will walk with Him as our two become as one
And all the promises He promises to us He promises will never be undone

Be my wife

My unfailing love for you will not be moved
For you will not be moved
My unfailing love for you
And though the mountains be shaken
And the hills be removed
Yet my unfailing love for you

And the story of love down here weaves into the universal story of love continually poured out by our Creator King. God, help my love to mirror yours...unfailing. Colleen, though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, still my unfailing love for you...
