Episode 39 - The story behind the song "Love Letter"

The Bible is a love letter that God has left for us.  A love letter is supposed to help our love from growing cold when we are apart.  In May of 2003, I wrote this song as an encouragement to read the Bible as a way for God to remind us of His love.  I am passionate about helping others learn to study and be saturated in God's Word.   Psalm 139:16 -  "All the days ordained for me were written in your book, before one of them came to be"  While God's written words are like a love letter written to us - the way we live is writing a letter back to Jesus, and He reads every word.  He is always with us and is watching.  This is both encouraging and sobering.   This song also talks about the love songs that Jesus sings over us every night (Zephaniah 3).   Love Letter Verse 1:  I have left a love letter for you Have you read the words? Every day of your life is written in my book I know every word I will hold your future in my hands In my heart I’ve written such good plans To care for you, in all you do, and tell you you’re my own So understand, my heart, my plan, you will never be alone I have sung a thousand love songs over you Have you heard the words? Verse 2:  Every night the music of heaven plays for you It tells you what is true I will show you great and mighty things I have come to set your spirit free To be more like me, you’ll have to see, my faithfulness and love To understand, my heart, my plan, just read my words from above Final Tag:  The way you live, is writing a letter back to me I read every word I have left a love letter for you Have you read the words? Have you even heard of my great love? You can find it in the pages of my letter You can hear it in the phrases of my love songs You can find it in the pages of my letter
