What money can't buy...

I'm so addicted to a song entitled "Wedding Dress"sung by Derek Webb. Thanks to a friend who played this song with a guitar to us that day.

I love the melody. The sound of guitar plucking really blows my mind. The lyric is indirectly related to Hosea and Gomer (the unfaithful woman that God asked the prophet to marry to in the old testament). But I could relate it much to my Christian life. I don't know... it's just so deep and so me.

There's a lot of time in my life when I was led astray, became unfaithful... and worst, faithless...

I ran away from Him so many times, thinking that I could handle everything on my own. I relied much on my human strength instead of swallowing my pride to accept the fact that I couldn't do anything without His grace. The burden stayed there, and yet I foolishly thought I could lift it up with my own bare shoulder.

Here the lyric is,

Wedding Dress

If you could love me as a wife

and for my wedding gift, your life

Should that be all I'd ever need

or is there more I'm looking for

and should I read between the lines

and search for blessings in disguise

To make me handsome, rich, and wise

Is that really what you want

I am a whore I do confess

But I put you on just like a wedding dress

and I run down the aisle

and I run down the aisle

Im a prodigal with no way home

but I put you on just like a ring of gold

and I run down the aisle to you

So could you love this bastard child

Though I don't trust you to provide

With one hand in a pot of gold

and with the other in your side

I am so easily satisfied

by the call of lovers so less wild

That I would take a little cash

Over your very flesh and blood

Because money cannot buy

a husband's jealous eye

When you have knowingly deceived his wife
