The Great Divide

Jackie was watching the movie "Secret Wings".  The Great Divide song came on.  Now I've heard this song many, many times, because this movie is played a lot around here, but I never listened too close to the words.  

But, this time was different. When the song began playing, I sensed in my spirit... "The Great Divide, really listen to the words.  Make it your next post."  Here are the words of the song...

I never knew I lost you till I found you

And I never guessed how close you were to me

And now I wanna throw my arms around you

Tell a thousand tales that will astound you

Everything about you tells me this was meant to be, 

Don't you see?

I'm on your side

Let's take this ride

And together we're facing the world

Doing things nobody's done before

And the great divide

Doesn't seem so wide anymore

I can't recall what life was like without you

Now it feels as though we've never been apart

Tell me every tiny thing about you

Anything you'll say I'll never doubt you

We're meant to be together I can feel it in my heart

It's just the start

I'm on your side

Let's take this ride

And together we're facing the world

Doing things nobody's done before

And the great divide 

Doesn't seem so wide

And if you'll be there beside me when I falter

Then whatever comes I know

We'll take it all in stride

I'm on your side

The great divide

Doesn't seem so wide

I'm on your side

Let's take this ride

And together we're facing the world

Doing things nobody's done before

And the great divide

Doesn't seem so wide anymore.

(End of Lyrics)

The Great Divide is the divide between God and man.  Holiness and sin.  Jesus laid His life down to bridge the Great Divide.

So let us take this ride
The ride with Jesus

And together we're facing the world

Doing things nobody's done before

And the great divide

Doesn't seem so wide anymore.
