Folk & Field | A Musical Study on Community & the Kingdom of GodSample

I WILL ALWAYS

Lyrics:

I hear you say,

”How could you love a man like this?

Of broken glass and jagged edges that

tear the flesh of your hand?”

Chorus:

But I will always love you

And I will always hold you in my hand.

I see you there, in your prison stripes and your cell

Your rusted chains, that you know oh so well.

They keep you bound and weak.

Chorus:

But I will always love you

And I will always free you from your chains.

Bridge:

And I know, you feel trapped and all alone

Let go, let my love bring you home

So hold on tight as I pick you up from out of death,

and change you with all the love that I have left.

And truthfully, I’ll never run out.

Chorus:

'Cause I will always love you

Yes, I will always love you

Till the end

Themes: The Father's everlasting covenant of Love, Jesus’ power in rescuing us from the power of sin.

Thoughts to consider as you listen and read through this study: Rightly understanding the depth of our sin can lead us to feel unlovable. This should point us toward the never-failing love of Christ; that he loved us before we could even love him. This song sends the musical album in another direction, as the music starts to speak about how Christ picks us up from the pit of darkness and delivers us from our sin.
