Wedding Dress

Today is proving to be a tough day for sermon prep. I’ve run through every excuse until it just hit me, I’m not allowing the text to HIT ME. Well, it just did and here’s a song that pretty much sums up my affections right now…
This song was written as an indictment upon the church, which we are all a part. So often being ungodly and calling it holy, while refusing to look for that which truly is. I am chief!
Wedding Dress by Derek Webb
If you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift, your life
Should that be all I’d 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
But I put you on just like a wedding dress
and I run down the aisle
and I run down the aisle
I’m a prodigal with no way home
but I put you on just like a ring of gold
and I run down the aisle from 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
I am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers so less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood
Because money cannot buy
a husband’s jealous eye
When you have knowingly deceived his wife
