You’re probably tired of hearing it, but these are strange times we’re living in. How could any of us have been prepared for the reality in which we find ourselves? I don’t know about you but I’ve read a lot of dystopian fiction and watched a ton of post-apocalyptic films. Neither of them are all that helpful in our current scenario. But you know what is helpful? Hope. Friendship. Solidarity. Though the song touches on a depressing topic, it is ultimately these themes that emerge. Listen to the urgency with which Steve Taylor croons:
If it all comes true
And our dreams fall like bombs from the blue
Oh! My love, come stand by me
And if it all comes real
Confirming this fear that I feel
Oh! My love, come stand by me
And really, what more could we ask for? The nearness of a loved one, the hope of the Saviour. It’s what you and I need right now, and it’s all we can offer the world. Blessings to each of you as you fight in your own way. Look up!
Dave Perkins sang lead on If It All Comes True.
Great message though! Thanks!
