@[a:40771] town like paris songs, poetry, art in general can have more than 1 meaning. Typically people can appreciate a work of art more if it does have more than 1 meaning. Honestly the Christian meaning seems secondary to a romantic affair between a man and someone else. The name of the song is “To Be Alone With You.” Something that both parties are willing to give up their lives for. Why would you want to be alone with Jesus? Isn’t the idea of Jesus that he wants to be with everyone? Jesus gets around. ???? |

@[BrainDamage:40769]\r\nDid Jesus have a wife that he gave up? Nah. Why would someone want to be alone with Jesus? The Christian meaning to the song seems secondary to an affair between a married man and someone else. |

@[PemberleyTea:40768] \r\n\r\nIt’s also pretty obvious that it’s about a romantic relationship. The lyrics seem carefully chosen to have a double meaning. One thing you didn’t explain from a biblical perspective is the name of the song. Why would someone want to be alone “in the rest of the room” with Jesus? If anything, the Christian meaning is secondary to the person-to-person romantic relationship meaning. |
