Different Point of View

A few months ago, in actuality it could have been a year ago, I was watching the movie "Taken" with a friend of mine and he shared an interesting thought with me that changed the way I look at movies and songs. He said "Think of the Dad in the movie as being God". I realize this post may be confusing for those of you that have not seen the movie, but don't fret I'm about to relate it back to the larger public. After that comment, I found myself listening to songs and thinking of the singer of the song as being God. It puts an interesting twist on some stuff. The song that stood out the most to me though was a song from Phantom of the Opera. News Flash: I don't want to see any comments questioning my masculinity. Real men can appreciate some aspects of feminine films. The lyrics are as follows:
"No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.

Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you...

and later on in the song

Say you need me
with you,
now and always...
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you..."

There's not a lot else I can add only that I encourage you to listen to songs with a different mindset and a whole new world of meaning to lyrics will open up to you. I listen to the song and picture it as being told to me by Jesus. I'm not sure if this is just a weird habit of mine, but I wanted to share it with you and hopefully you can get some more enjoyment out of songs the way I do now.
