I just talked to Dan the other night, not specifically about this song but about songwriting. He maintains a song can be interpreted however by anyone but there is a core meaning to him when he writes it. I don't know what it is, but to me this song speaks of the faithful love of Christ to me, especially right now. I am feeling betrayed right now by a girl I have always loved and respected and after all the tears are spent where do I arrive? Nothing has changed but in a way He does stroll into my room. I am reminded by the Holy Spirity of His faithful love and I have peace. Out of all the loves I have known He holds my affection and will. I'm still heartbroken but He loves me regardless of my faults. He builds up my faith and I will someday become part of His bride. Our relationship is somewhat similiar to a marriage. In baptism I am saying, "I do." It's a public affirmation of my belief/love of Christ, just as marriage is. Because He always loves perfectly, the pureness of His love is like a rushing waterfall to parched lips of thirsting for true love, like a "newborn cry when there are so few" He IS my life, for my life is hidden with Christ. I am a fairweather friend but He isn't, He's always there waiting should I need arms to crash into. Jars of Clay writes some amazingly inspired lyrics in so many of their songs like this and this is just one of many favorites.
