I found this song on Chad’s site. I added the lyrics because I had to read them after listening. The song uses the word whore, so if this is offensive to you, please don’t listen.
Derek Webb (CD Title: She Must & Shall Go Free)
Wedding Dress
Lyrics: If you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift, your life
Should that be all I’d ever need
or is there more I’m looking for
and should I read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
To make me handsome, rich, and wise
Is that really what you want
I am a whore I do confess
But I put you on just like a wedding dress
and I run down the aisle
and I run down the aisle
I?m a prodigal with no way home
but I put you on just like a ring of gold
and I run down the aisle to you
So could you love this bastard child
Though I don’t trust you to provide
With one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side
I am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers so less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood
Because money cannot buy
a husband’s jealous eye
When you have knowingly deceived his wife
You can learn the story behind the song here.
listen to podcast 12.
Wow. Thanks for sharing that. It really speaks to our times.

Good idea to write those words out. I need to have them before me at all times.
Hope you are well this week! Grace and peace,
Chad

Good morning, Heidi. I just wanted to drop this off:

The artist in me won’t let me keep from drawing. Every time I see your avatar pop up on my site I have the desire to try to capture your eyes…they’re beautiful. So, it’s not with a real medium, but the challenge was fun. Hope you like it.
