| Lyrics: |
| 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 look 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 I?m 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 |

What I like so much about this song is the choice of words. We so often use words to tear eachother apart in the world. Yet when it is used in this context it's a way of realizing the tear between us and God.
This song cuts deep and rings so true.
I appreciate the wilingness of stepping out with such brave lyrics.
Praise God!!

WOW!!! for anyone who has a problem with the words of this song, please go and read Ezekiel 16 and 17. These lyrics are probably the most heartfelt and honest i have ever heard in Christian music--ever. Good for Derek for being so open to the Spirit.
