Bleeding Love

I know this is going to be deep for many of you. I was running errands yesterday afternoon driving store to store all within the same vicinity. Every song on the radio was a message for me tugging on my heart to get my attention. I wasn't just fixed on one station mind you. I was moving from pre-set to pre-set station after a song. Let me give you examples of what I heard: "Lean On Me" by the Temptations, "Dream On" by Aerosmith, "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion and many other meaningful songs. Nevertheless, this song "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis was the climactic ending when I finished my afternoon outing and I was headed home. The lyrics to this song touched me in such an unbelievable way that I had to pull over because I was crying so hard. This experience had nothing to do with another human being. But everything to do with Spirit.

Because you are His children, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” (Galatians 4:6)

And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. (Romans 8:16)

Bleeding Love ~ by Leona Lewis

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with You
My heart melted into the ground
Found something TRUE
And everyone's lookin 'round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with You
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the TRUTH
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with Your EMBRACE
And in this world of loneliness
I see Your FACE
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with You
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the TRUTH
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining ALL of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with You
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the TRUTH
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
