What started out as a plea to God to send me my perfect mate, ended up a love song and plea to send me Himself. I felt God in the new track I made, so the lyrics just took me there subconsciously.
I originally started the song with, “I’m reading old letters, old journal writings. I must have mentioned him a thousand times at least.” And I changed it to “…I must have mentioned Him a thousand times at least.”
Not much else changed, as He was already in my piece, but I made Him the focus. I did change the last line of the bridge from “…kiss my problems away” to “…mend my problems away.” I mean, a kiss is temporary but healing is everlasting.
Even with the shift in focus, one can sense the allegorical nature of this story. I can’t ignore my original prayer and my original longing for companionship. My heart, however, lead me to the understanding that my loneliness was much more deeply rooted than I realized.
I’m an artist—a profession that calls for me to pull from my life and expose myself as much as I can. I can’t wait to share with you my life…I can’t wait to start recording the song!
