You Just Don't Want To Be Loved

Listening to an old jam today in my time of reading and prayer.  It was a song from the group "The WInans."  Been praying about all the people in my life who are outside of the Kingdom of God.  Listening to the lyrics put some thoughts in my mind about people refusing to come to God.  It could be because of unbelief, fear, or straight up rebellion.  What strikes me is the never ending pursuit that God has for people even being rejected daily for every type of excuse and well formed argument.  The lyrics are printed below:




If you turn your head away after hearing what I say.
You refuse to take my hand, then I'll understand
You just don't want to be loved.

If you turn away my gift follow after a myth.
If you'd rather be deceived then I must believe
You just don't want to be loved.

If you turn away the light, just to walk in the night.
I haven't heard a verbal no but your actions show
You just don't want to be loved.

You disregard all my calls as if I haven't called at all.
And all the time I know you hear, makes me really fear
You just don't want to be loved.

Oh with love and kindness I'll draw and with goodness I will lead.
With my blood I'll wash away all iniquity.
So come and take my hand, I will lead you all the way.
Your tomorrow will be much brighter than your yesterday.
So much brighter than your yesterday.

I bridle you with everything but your response is still the same
It seems all in vain you just don't want to be loved.
You always seem to hide the emptiness inside.
I will set you free If you turn to me, but
You just don't want to be loved.

Why won't you let Jesus love you?
Don't turn him away (You just don't want to be loved.)
I don't understand (You just don't want to be loved.)

Why won't you let Jesus love you.
let Him (Love you)
