spiritual infedelity

the wedding dress by derek webb
if you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding get your life
should that be all i'll 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
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and i run down the isle run down the isle
i am a prodigal with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the isle
i run down the isle 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
cause i am so easily satisfied
in a call of lovers so less wild
and i would take her little cash
instead of Your very flesh and blood

cause i am a whore i do confess
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and i run down the isle
cause i am a prodigal with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the isle i run down the isle
to you --

cause money canot buy
a husband's jealous eye
when you have knowingly decieved his wife.

so i am a whore i do confess
i put you on just like a wedding dress
and i run down the isle
run down the isle
so i am a prodical with no way home
i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the isle run down the isle
to You. . .to You.

i find these lyrics to this song far more desciptive of my heart's wanderings than my words could ever be. this song paints the perfect image of what i do to Christ. the analogy is convicting and contemplative. i would encourage you to find this song, listen to it, and expirience it deeply.
