When I listened to this song for the first time after having children, I heard it as though it was Christ singing it to me. I know that it's a love song from a man to a woman or vice versa, but this is exactly how God feels for us. He'd go to the ends of the earth for us. He'd die for us. He'd conquer hell for us.
And he did.
How, then, could we not see it as a love song from Christ to His child?
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no - one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

I see it as a love song from Jesus too. However, when I read it the first time, I thought of you and Bryan loving your two precious girls.This is the way parents need to be!
