I never thought of the cave as a conversation between man and God, but once I read that in the blog I was blown away. I don't know if that was the intent, but if it is, whoo wee what a gnarly song.
It is such a beautiful and accurate story beginning with God looking at us in our sin and not reprimanding us but just saying simply:
"It's empty in the valley of your heart"
Its empty in there, come to me! He continues by saying:
Its empty in there, come to me! He continues by saying:
"But I will hold on hope, (that you will come to me) And I won't let you choke on the noose around your neck (your sin and death)"
I won't give up on you. I will not let you fall.
Unfortunately we so frequently answer with:
"'Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine"
To which god answers:
"So come out of your cave"
Once more we reply:
Once more we reply:
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
I love this next bit because so often i tell God I'm not interested and then immediately change my mind, "I don't need you God, wait wait I didn't mean it, God I need freedom!":

'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
Do I trust that he won't give up on me? Do I believe I am good enough for his love? Am I hiding in my cave? All great questions that I ask myself after this song.
Love,
