I was listening to the song "Hold Me Now" by Jennifer Knapp this morning. The chorus to this song just blows me away.

From glass alabaster she poured out the depths of her soul.
O foot of Christ would you wait if her harlotries known?
falls a tear to darken the dirt.
Of humblest offerings to forgive the hurt.
She is strong enough to stand in your love.
I can hear her say..I am weak.
I am poor, I'm broken Lord but I'm yours.
Hold me Now. hold me Now.
Let the first without sin cast the first stone if you will.
To say that my bride isn't worth half the blood that I've spilled.
Point your finger and laugh if you choose to say my beloved is borrowed and used (chorus)

Simple, but what an awesome encapsulation of the gospel! The prostitute, the adultress and the church - three images bathed in jesus's blood and grace. It's so easy for me to become self-righteous and proud and forget how desparately I need Jesus - his blood, his grace. I can forget so quickly who I am - going from sitting at his feet to blatantly flipping him off. What blows me away is that I'm forgiven time and time again, welcomed back time and time again.
