Seven Places


I like songs that come from a unique perspective, say, God's maybe. For example, here are the lyrics from a song called "Little" by Seven Places:


in a little while I will go for you
in a little while I will bleed for you
in a little while I will hang for you
in a little while I will call for you

you, I only want to spend my time with you

I cracked my skin so I could be with you
I made the world to stop it just for you
I want to be with you

there's a little place that i will build for you
there's an empty space that i will fill in you
you, I only want to spend my time with you
I cracked my skin so I could be with you
I made the world to stop it just for you
I want to be with you

My favorite part about this song is that it reminds me why Jesus died on the cross-for you, for me. The craziest and awesomest part is that He WANTS to spend time with us. He's a loving God, a God who longs to have a relationship with us. That's what they're singing about when they say that God wants to fill that empty space. That old saying is true-there's a God-shaped hole in all our hearts that only God can fill.
