Here because of Tim Challies' recent FB post on the 5 worst Christian books. Wow. Awesome job. And very humbling indeed. How often do I chase after worldly vices rather than His wisdom, love, and grace. Wow.
Here for the same reason. The Holy Spirit told me when the Prayer of Jabez book first came out that it was not of God. Later I prayed similarly, and God answered and expanded my borders. But he was just being kind to this whore. Like he always has been.
People get offended by language, but it took such powerful words to convey such a powerful image. I've been that person and God is changing me, showing me the truth, more and more each day! Thank God for grace and mercy!!!
[Verse 1] If you could love me as a wife And for my wedding gift, 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 [Chorus] I am a whore I do confess I put you on just like a wedding dress And I run down the aisle Run down the aisle I'm a prodigal with no way home I put you on just like a ring of gold And I run down the aisle to you [Verse 2] 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 I am so easily satisfied By the call of lovers less wild That I would take a little cash Over your very flesh and blood [Bridge] Because money cannot buy A husband's jealous eye When you have knowingly deceived his wife
THIS IS SO GOOD.. THIS IS WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS.... IF JESUS WOULD OF PREACHED WHAT MODERN DAY CHURCHES PREACH NOWADAYS, WE WOULNDT OF NEVER GOTTEN CRUCIFIED
Likely they came out about the same time. DW was performing it in 2002 and earlier. I dont know about when damien rice came out with his song but it was put out in 2003 for radios.. He was definitely not ripping off the song though. This is actually a newer way of singing wedding dress and doesnt play or sound like the original which sounds even less like damien rice.
You don't understand, bro. Christ wanted to die. Isaiah says He was led like a lamb to the slaughter to die for those the Father had given Him. If He had not died, there would be no payment for sin.
I know its four months old but please do not quote somebody like LEONARD RAVENHILL to make it sound like you. Give credit where credit is due, especially Leonard!
You're pretty quick to judge him, about where his heart was before and how his story will end. Yes right now his face is turned. Doesn't mean he won't be led back.
People, even whole Christian sects, who read the bible think they know the mind & desires of God. All men observe, not the world outside, but themselves - since what they see is at best only their conception of what they see; Lionel Mordecai Trilling (change "see" to read in sentence above, cause to read you must see)

Yep. Me too. And I really like this song. And yes, very humbling. Could have described me better.

Me three!
me 4!
me 5!
"With one hand in a pot of gold and the other in Your side." Pure genius, pure truth.

I'm just sitting here...pride poured out all over the place...thank you for your grace Lord...thank you
Profound. Humbling. Makes me realize how undeserving I am of God's forgiving love and grace.
I have always loved this song. So raw.
I hate the part of my heart that is described by the lyrics of this song.
I love the One who taught me to hate it and made to conquer it.
Such a good & very transparent song.
My life has felt less lonely because Derek Webb exists
This breaks my heart every time
I’m not religious, but even I can understand and appreciate this song.
I was so misled until I researched and gained greater "understanding "; thank you Ho!
You're great! Love how you tell it like it is
Awesome!
I love that video. I always remember it during any wedding scene. I know what it’s like to run down the aisle to Jesus.
[Verse 1]
If you could love me as a wife
And for my wedding gift, 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
[Chorus]
I am a whore I do confess
I put you on just like a wedding dress
And I run down the aisle
Run down the aisle
I'm a prodigal with no way home
I put you on just like a ring of gold
And I run down the aisle to you
[Verse 2]
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
I am so easily satisfied
By the call of lovers less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood
[Bridge]
Because money cannot buy
A husband's jealous eye
When you have knowingly deceived his wife
meaningful for this song describes my life as it once was
amen!
"Money cannot buy a husband's jealous eye when you have knowingly deceived his wife." Excellence.
Wow.

I think they were both released the same year (2003). That'd be pretty tough to do.
Why wont u put up the original:center aisle ?

Well put Delmar Peet. Thank you Lord!!!
this sockingly profound
Sounds like you need a shoe for that sock
lol
Hes speaking of the culture and not personally I do believe when he says 'i'm so easily satisfied etc etc and so on and so forth.' jeff
Murl Center I think it's both. It would cheapen the song not take any self reflection from it.

Amazing song and artist... also is it just me or does the guy in the back look like the bassist from The Devil Wears Prada?
This is earlier than Cannonball.
Sad he is no longer with us as a believer. 😔
It's not over for him yet... He still has time to repent and come back.
@@inspectorvoid it’s over now

Ravenhill used better grammar ;-)
Proof the world has fallen so far from our Lord. What a shame.
i can't like it because it would alter the number of likes.
He's an atheist now. Never was a true believer. Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith.

@@inspectorvoid he’s wearing women’s clothing now… that’s it.
Sounds like he is stealing Damien rice
"Cannonball"
Google that shit @GaryVee @DerekWebb
This aged poorly...
Not a Christian...
