So there's this Taylor Swift song called "Ours" and every time I hear it I can't help but think of Jesus. I know that's not the normal response to a love song, but lines like "your hands are tough but they are where mine belong" remind me of this wonderfully heroic man who worked as a carpenter and did everything he could to pursue me. It's so dreamy. And these lyrics make him real to me. I've never really thought about it, but Jesus was human and probably had calloused hands. I can't wait for the day when they hold mine.
This song helps me imagine what it would be like if Jesus were here, right next to me. I picture us walking together and joking, maybe even a little teasing now and then, a slow dance in a gazebo, or a walk on the beach during sunset. I don’t think she meant to, but Taylor nailed it. Life in this world makes our love look hard, but that's okay, “I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you."
