After hours of carefully loading my iPod for our vacation, I listened to it for all of 20 minutes along the way.  This song got repeated for about 12 of those minutes.  It was one of those I-really-needed-to-hear-this -song-at-this-time experiences, and I’ll forever attach this tune to driving along the Red Sea.

From Shawn McDonald, this is “Simply Nothing“…

So hard to fathom the pain in Your eyes,
As You’re watching Your children, doing what You despise.
In pursuit of our own, we just go round and round.
Another nail to our cause, we continue to pound.

What are you, man, if you do not learn love?
What are you, man, if you do not learn love?

So hard to fathom, oh, the feelings inside,
As You’re watching Your people choosing to die.
You called out a warning to all that would hear,
Saying come to Me, come to Me,
And I will draw near…

What are you, man, if you do not learn love?
What are you, man, if you do not learn love?

Learn love… I must… Learn love
