Washed by the water

"Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water
Even when the earth crumbles under my feet
Even when the ones I love turn around and crucify me
I won't ever, ever let you down
Won't fall as long as your around me"
-Needtobreathe
Washed by the Water

So this is one of those songs that I've listened to maybe twice before and it's so beautiful but for some reason it really hit home today. I guess maybe cause it's raining outside. But the beginning of the song talks about how their father is a preacher and how people started turning their backs on him and talking down on him pretty much, but that his father stuck it through and remembered who he served. But I love the line in this song that says "Even when the ones I love turn around and crucify me" because if there is one thing I've learned in life, it's that God is the only one that will never let you down. So many people you think you can count on, even your christian friends and family will eventually let you down somehow. They might turn away from you, but the only thing you can do is continue to love them with the love God has for you. But not only that but the fact that you are "washed by the water", it's obviously a metaphor for Christ life on earth, above the water you are a sinner, then you are dunked and completely surrounded by the love of Christ and you come out clean. Everything else from the world washed away and left with Christ. And it's just so amazing to think of how much he has done for us and how we no longer need to worry because he has taken it away and kept it for himself. It wasn't necessary, but he did it because he loved us.
Sorry ya'll, but if that doesn't make you want to jump up with joy for a never failing God, then I don't know what to tell you.
Oh and I think something that I really wanted to point out was that the best thing about all of this is that when we feel like everything else in the world is going to suffocate us and fall apart, there is God and his love to hold us.
