This song is just totally beautiful and will totally cripple you when you can relate to the subtle Scripture-inspired lyrics.
"Turning over tables" of course refers to Christ and the cleansing of the temple. He desires the same with our temples, our own hearts. When we put things or even people above Him He jealously envies our time and affection. (James 4:5)
This song speaks of the so called "hard love" we go after when we seek the things of this world and end up at the "gallows" instead of the aisle, on our way to the great marriage of the Lamb and the Church.
We are so unfaithful, like the wife of the prophet Hosea, a picture of us to Christ. As Derek Webb would say, I am a whore I do confess, I put you on like a wedding dress. That He would still love us jealously in spite of all this is just mind blowing.
I also agree with the comments of pearl and pyro. This song is awesome lyrically and very thought provoking on a subject I don't know if I've ever heard on any other song.
