So I was on the way back from an MRI (which consequencely I had to get up at 5:30 AM for! GRRRR!) and these words came across the radio. It is a song by Chris Cagle, and it made me wonder in a million different directions. You know a good friend once told me, "that the problem with today's society is that we confuse love with feelings...because love really isn't a feeling...it's an action. Everyone wants to feel loved, but the only real love is that of God's love to each and every one of us. He is the only one that can fullfill the longing to be loved and cared for. Human love is so imperfect...but God's love is Perfect."
But back to this song...
The song tells a sort of story. It is like main character misses her so much, but doesn't tell why they aren't together. There had to be some reason...even if it was a stupid one. I know how it feels to lose someone you love and wish they would come back...in death...and in other areas of my life. It is hard to sleep at night, hard to focus on our daily grind activities, and our brain feels like it wants to explode. But God is always there waiting for us to come to him to be comforted, and sometimes that takes an eternity. However, as I was listening to the song, I wanted to think that the lyrics could be applied as God speaking to each of us...(minus the kitchen floor chorus...see lyrics... :oP). I know it is a strech...but it made me think. Hasn't God designed each of us to miss something in our lives...something only he can give us...Unchanging, unconditional, Love. We try to fill that void with all kinds of things...drugs, sex, rock n' roll, companionship, friends, toys, stuff! But it is never enough to make anyone truely satisfied...only God can do that and he calls to each of us to miss him and long for him...whether we know it or not.
And now...the lyrics:
Miss Me Baby
When You Hear Our Favorite Song Miss Me Baby
And When You Start To Sing Along
Think About All The Times That We Danced
In The Light To It All Night Long,
OhThen Miss Me Baby
And Want Me Honey
Like You Did The Night You Told Me That You Loved Me
We Couldn't Wait Anymore, Left The Keys In The Door
Took My Hand, Pulled Me Down On The Kitchen Floor
Yeah, We Were That Crazy
Miss Me Baby
Because When He's Holding You
Know That It's Killing Me
Let My Memory Be The Reason, Girl
That You Can't Sleep
And Every Time You Feel His Touch
I Pray To God It's Not Enough
And That I've Touched Your Heart So Deep
Girl, You Can't Shake Me
Cause I Love You, Yes I Need You
Miss Me Baby
Miss Me Baby
Until You Can't Take It No More

Why did you need an MRI? I hope you are ok!
Jenni....so glad to see you post :o) I like that song too...isn't it funny how sometimes we can see God in things that maybe weren't even intended that way...he is so awesome!
YEEHAW...the MRI was on my Elbow...I might need surgery, but I don't know yet. How was your b-day lunch...sorry I missed it :o(
Are you sure you were thinking about God when listening to that song?
Joey-
I LOVE that song---number 7 on my homemade disk in the car--it's on repeat. Anyway...
If what you miss is still here on this earth...go for it. Don't give yourself the opportunity to have regrets. Remember, hindsight is always 20/20 so put the glasses of the future on and don't look back.
whenever i hear that song I always imagine it being a duet... Chris Cagle sings "miss me baby" and a girl singer (i'd like to think it's julie roberts) she'd follow him with "i miss you baby" a la "in another's eyes" by garth brooks & trisha yearwood.
quite a different spin then the oringal song itself, but it's my 2 cents
