Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: (Isaiah 5:1 ESV)
Love Song
In high school, my best friend wrote a song for his girlfriend. The lyrics were sweet, and hopeful, and sort of beautiful. I composed the tune, and it was even better!
But he never sang it for her. Almost as he finished writing, she broke up with him. He decided he did not love her anymore, and put the song away.
In this verse, someone is singing about a vineyard. And whether the singer here is Isaiah, or God Himself, the joy is found in the same place. The song is sung because of love.
God’s love for His people causes songs.
In fact, in a way, all of Scripture is a love song from God to His people.
But God does not stop singing it. Our rebellions, unfaithfulness, and sins only cause Him to sing more boisterously. Our rejection of Him, our ignorance of Him, our deafness to Him have not stopped His Song.
Because His love is stronger than anything we can fail to do.
God loves us so much He sings.
