Episode 35 - The story behind the song "Captivating"

This podcast paints the picture of the song Captivating, and the accounts from the gospels in John 4 and John 8.   This song was written from Jesus' perspective.  The words He sings are the truth about how He sees us.  I don't mention it in this podcast, but the Lord has used this song in at least two people's lives who chose life when considering suicide.  This song is a gift from heaven, I feel honored that Jesus shared one of his songs in heaven with me.   This song is available to stream or share from anywhere you get your digital music.   Captivating Verse 1 The blazing sun beat down around us Your soul is thirsty, like the ground beneath your feet Coming to this place, you need a little space You’ve heard promises before All those promises walked right out your door Looking deep into the well, You hope to find yourself The reflection looking back at you is Living on the ragged edge, surviving day to day Hoping no one notices  all of your pain You tell another lie, and you try to get away Nothing seems to satisfy,  life leaves you wanting to die Verse 2 Storm clouds billow east of Eden The morning rain is pooling at your feet You were carried to this place, With little hope of finding grace Tear drops splash, a face looks back Can you make an escape form  all of this shame Looking for some help, to save you from yourself The reflection looking back at you is Living on the ragged edge, surviving day to day Hoping no one notices  all of your pain You tell another lie, and you try to get away Nothing seems to satisfy,  life leaves you wanting to die Chorus: I can see, that you have a beauty , That is so captivating It reflects my light like a million stars at night When I saw you, I saw right through All your sin and all your shame, I will take away this pain I choose you, I tell you the truth, My goodness is on parade, with every step you take
