Love and Death

Here's another song. I was inspired to write this song after reading A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. We read this book for a literature class I am taking. The song talks about one of the ideals that the two lovers in A Severe Mercy believe. They thought that it would be better for them to die together, then to leave one partner behind. However, they realize their folly after they come to Jesus. They realize that there is something better than their love: God's love. The recording quality is not quite as good because I recorded this at home. I think it turned out decently well, though . . . Enjoy the song!



(sorry about the video not being centered. I don't know why that happened!)

Here are the lyrics:

Love and Death
By Jonathan Wright

We’re gonna go together
we’re gonna sink straight down
with me holding you
and you holding me so tight so tight

The easiest way for our love to die is if we die with it
We can only sacrifice our lives for our love
in the long last dive (2X)

we’re gonna leave together
falling like shooting stars
and when we burn out
we’ll still be in love in love

but we don’t have to go together
we don’t have to be alone
our love will remain
but not the same the same

you took all our sins forever
we don’t have to pay the cost
Jesus came and was crucified
in the long last dive
