I would love to see your philosophyforums. How can I get to them?

It's about people seeking peace/ love/ acceptance/ fulfillment/ and/or meaning in life in something other than Christ's love. (refering to the Bible - God is a jealous God) and wants our entire heart and soul. we need to have faith in Him and only Him, even if we don't understand His ways. It's kind of like an apology song, if you think of Christ as the Groom, the church is the Bride - i've been unfaithful to you, i gave my love to other things, and i'm sorry; please take me back (and He will

[Hap63py]

I choke up when I hear these words...so many years of running after the wind...and Jesus was always standing there with open arms to welcome me back

Even as children of God, created in His image, we fall into sin. We have free will! Who can know the mind of the God who created the Universe & everything in it? I think we naturally turn away because of the desires of our flesh. No matter how far away we wander, r Faithful Savior always takes us back! This song speaks of a jealous God. He loves us in a way we can't fathom. I believe He wants our loyalty to Him alone (mind, body and soul). Because He is all we need in this life!

it took me forever to realize this is a song about fiedelity to God and the Walk! the lovers and alters are all the things we love and chase above God! help us,oh God,to always chase You and only You! And also help us to set You in Your rightful place: RULER of our lives!!!!

[looneybineastman]

Wow - so glad Jesus has given me a new life and no one can take me from Him - living here and for eternity with Jesus - wow - Praise you God for your provision.

@dalene14 I dunno, I'm just a long-time Jars fan. :) The song is referencing Matthew 21:12. And you're welcome! I'm glad you love the song as much as I do!

[dalene14]

@project826 Ohhh! Haha now i fully understand! Thanks :) haha how do you know all that? thats amazing,

[project826]

@dalene14 It means we turn ourselves over to anything and anyone (as in new things/people to love/worship all the time, hence a long line of them), while Christ, in His jealousy for our love, turned over tables in the temple because the people were selling and placing things above their love for Him.

I have turned away from God so many times , and well , everytime i do , it's horrible , i was almost in the state of killing myself , but i turned to him again .. he has saved me . I adore him , and love him . He knows i am stubborn , and needs a slap in the back of the head sometimes when i am not listening to him .. i want to . i just ... i don't listen to much people , and well , it's kinda hard , but i know i will <3 :)

This is a nice song although the piano playing weirds me out. I never thought about the turning over the tables like that... very interesting and gifted band.
