If you were a sinner, who were about to be stoned to death by the religious zealots of the time, suddenly confronted by God Himself, who forgave you, would you not also feel this kind of awe, confusion, and love all rolled up into one incomprehensible emotion? This hauntingly beautiful showstopper captures all of those feelings perfectly. I've heard this sung by dozens of other stars, all of whom have great voices. This tops them all.

Yes...if you thought so little of yourself (because of how you’d been treated by society), and then a very loving, strong, inspired person stood up for you in the coolest, most piercing way ever (I imagine Jesus writing in the dust, inviting the perfect human to go ahead and throw the first stone and then...winking at the prostitute in a “Don’t worry, we’ve got this,” way), you’d melt (or I would!).

Your comment captures many feelings perfectly. I love how you said "would you not also feel this kind of awe, confusion & love all rolled up into 1 incomprehensible emotion?" I remember when my Mom bought this album I was about 12 or 13. I can still picture that rectangular booklet w/the lyrics. Even though I was, this song really kicked up emotions. Yvonne Elliman has an extraordinarily beautiful voice. In this song, primarily, you can honestly feel her confusion. She truly doesn't know how to love Him or if she should love him. This album is an all time favorite!! I hadn't listened to it in over 20 yrs and I still knew almost all of the words. Thank you for your moving comment ❤

Stunning song, perfect both musically and lyrically.
I don't know how to love him What to do, how to move him I've been changed, yes really changed In these past few days, when I've seen myself I seem like someone else I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man. He's just a man And I've had so many men before In very many ways He's just one more Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this What's it all about? Don't you think it's rather funny I should be in this position I'm the one who's always been So calm, so cool, no lover's fool Running every show He scares me so I never thought I'd come to this
@hotelsecurity6992 Жыл бұрын
What's it all about? Yet, if he said he loved me I'd be lost, I'd be frightened I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope I'd turn my head, I'd back away I wouldn't want to know He scares me so I want him so I love him so

Try actually reading the Bible. You guys don't even show up until the Rapture. We'll see the real Antichrists in that time so, until then, you're just an angsty teenager trying to act edgy.

Clearly this person doesn't understand the song. Mary Magdalene is confused obout what to feel about jesus that time. Should Magdalene love Jesus Christ as a friend, a lover, or a god that defended her when she was about to stoned to death.
