Song Review: 1st Issue

So I am going to let you guys in on a secret that is so well known it probably is not a secret. I love music. I love it to a ridiculous extent. Also, I looove lyrics and to an even more ridiculous extent. So I thought it would be cool to review a song a week. It can be a review of a popular song or a review of a song I just found. DISCLAIMER: Just because I say something about a song, regardless of whether its good or bad, does NOT mean you HAVE TO agree with me. Its just my opinion. So I will start with a song from My collection. Its called "I Will Not Take My Love Away" by Matt Wertz. I am gonna post a playlist so you can listen if you so please. Hopefully it will work :) Here are the lyrics then the reviewing will commence!! (Note: I might make mention of the actual sound of the song but I will mostly center on the lyrics since I believe that is the meat of the song)
I Will Not Take My Love Away

I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
while the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there's no yield for what you've sown
I will not leave you all alone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need
I will not take my love away

I just love this song. I just found it recently. Tonight actually. I was planning on using A Change Of Pace song but reconsidered when I saw these lyrics. Like I stated before, I love lyrics. Its gotten be into trouble too but I will save that story for another day. Maybe a follow up post.
This song is unique because these lyrics are the definition of love. The radio is flooded with songs about how attracted a guy is to a girl or vice versa. And most songs on the radio use attraction and chemistry interchangeably with the word "love". I am sure some of you have heard me talk about what love really means. I will keep it short. My defintion of "true love" is not funny butterflies in the stomach. It is doing what is best for the other person. Even if that means you might be hurt or embarassed. If you love them you will do what is best. In this song, the singer promises to be there for them, to provide for them, to love them no matter what. When life isn't sunny, when the world turns away, When everything is crashing down, I will not stop loving you. Such a beautiful message. And a beautiful song to go with it. These precious words are laid atop a soft bed of an acoustic guitar and Wertz's unique voice. And as you know, I am christian. In this song I see a parallel love song sung by my savior. It may not have been the intetntion of the songwriter and thats fine. But I hear Jesus when I hear this song. So Lemme know what you think! Love it? Hate It? And why?
