i feel like, spiritually, its me praying to God and asking him for His will in my life. secondly, its me asking Him for her. the one he wants for me. its me asking him to send me her when i am not expecting it and He has. he gave me Jenny and she is her. if for nothing, setting aside all the wondrous things he has blessed me with, i'll forever be gazing, like a child, into the Lord's wondrous love for his undeniable gift to me. his gift of jenny in my heart and life.
I don't see the prayers as necessarily for a soul mate. The love it talks about is between our Heavenly Father and us.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, lostinaurora, I know that what you said is how you see it which is a beautiful interpretation; but I would be careful not to confuse the gift of a life partner with the greater gifts God has for us: grace, salvation, HIS love. Otherwise one would fall prey to idolatry--his or her loved one as the idol that stands between him or her and God.
This song is about returning to the grace...

This song is about returning to the grace of God and finding that He makes you clean and innocent as a child and that He listens to every prayer. It's not duality, God's will for you life may include a mate, but that is not the means nor the end.
this song is the epitome of duality to me.
