Soul Tattoo
My friend recently surprisingly and bravely got a tattoo. Believe it or not, I suffer a little O.C.D. about editing this blog. That is not because I'm a perfectionist and need everything to be just so, obviously, but because I lack confidence! So my choice in a tattoo would most likely need to be improved on by getting a new better one to the point of my becoming a side-show attraction as the tattooed woman. (That's not much of an attraction these days!)
These lyrics are from a song written by Miss Margaret Becker. Oh yeah. I love the idea of a "soul tattoo. " I hadn't thought of our having the "seal" of the Holy Spirit in our hearts as a tattoo, but I like the comparison. Skin tattoos can be removed, but the seal of the Holy Spirit and God's love will never fade away. His love is forever and ever and ever. Amen.
Soul Tattoo
Don't want nobody to save me
From this divine romance
Don't want nobody to wake me
From this mysterious trance
Don't make me drink black coffee sister
Don't make me splash my face
Because the love that I'm victim of
Is the kind of love you can never erase
CHORUS
It's like a soul tattoo
like a soul tattoo
Love like this will never fade away
Like a soul tattoo
Don't want nobody to help me
Get my heart off my sleeve
Don't want nobody to tell me
That I am being naive
Don't make me put my coat on sister
Don't make me go in the house
Because the love that I'm victim of
Is the kind of love you can never keep out
You can rub your fingers raw
But you can never get the mark to come off
You can hope it will come to an end
But this love is forever and ever and ever
Amen
(II Corinthians 1:21,22)
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
