A Song for you

A heart is a house for love.  And I learned that it don’t take too much to break up or to build it up. Try typing those words out on your computer once, maybe twice. Just by taking the effort to type them, those words may get their message through to you.  At least I hope so for yours and everybody else's sake.  Is there a heart in the house tonight?

I finally read and understood the words to this Dells song just today.  And the words cut me. I never before realized, just how deep their message is.  (A Heart is a House for Love - by The DELLS).  Although, I've heard this song many times before I missed it. It's very deep. I guess the rhythmic beat in the song used to carry me off somewhere and I never truly listened to it's content before now.

Anyway B and the rest of you too. This song's for YOU and for the (man) or (woman) that you married. So read the lyrics, they are written below. They're long but don't skip over anything and maybe you'll learn something. Something valuable, maybe even crucial about love.

A heart is a house for love
And I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to build it up. (Build it up.)
Build it up, build it up, build it up.
Ooh

Two wrongs don't make it right,
But too long was the night I kept you guessing.
It's all I can do, (All I can do.)
And hope that maybe you'll come around again.
Now I see that the wonder of devotion,
It doesn't, it doesn't come free.

A heart is a house for love
And I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to break.
A heart is a house for love
And I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to build it up.
Oh

Today I understand,
I'll pay the price to be all the man you need.
You know you got to be free.
(Go find your way.) Go find your way,
Find your way back to me.
Now I see (I see) that the wonder of devotion,
It doesn't, it doesn't come free.

A heart is a house for love
And I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to break.
A heart is a house for love
And I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to build it up. Build it up.
A heart is a house for love
And I learned, I learned, I learned (I learned) that it don't take much to break.
A heart is a house for love, hey, hey, hey.
I learned that it don't take much to build it up.
Build it up, build it up, build it up.
Oh, yeah.
Build it up, build it up, build it up (Mm)

Build it up together either near or far.
(Oh, oh, oh)
Build a house full of hearts to stand it all.
Is there a heart,
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
Stand up. (Stand up)
Stand up, let me know.
Let me know that you understand.
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
You got to have love (You got to have love.)
Love in your heart tonight.

Build it up together and then it won't fall.
Build it up.
Build a house full of hearts to withstand it all.
Two hearts are better than one.
Build it up together and then it won't fall.
Two hearts belong together.
Build a house full of hearts to withstand it all.
Build it up.
Is there a heart,
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
Stand up. (Stand up)
Stand up, let me know that you understand.
Better listen to me.
Love doesn't come free, you gotta build it up.
Is there a heart,
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
Stand up. (Stand up)
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
One love, our love, your love, somewhere, somebody.
Is there a heart,
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
Is there a heart in your house tonight.
Is there a heart in your house tonight.

Always, never out my mind.
You're always on my mind.
I love, love, love, love you all the time.
(Build it up, build it up, build it up.)
Oh, build it up. (A heart is a house for love.) Build it up.
Build it up, build it up.
Build it up. (A heart is a house for love.)
Let me know that you understand.
(Build it up, build it up, build it up.)
A heart is a house for love.

Why he died (of heartbreak)

He didn’t admit his part in causing the fiasco nor did he forgive the others involved.

He didn’t accept God’s forgiveness for himself that was freely given.

He struggled with self pity and failed to recognize when he was in it.

He didn’t use spiritual tools to 'cast out' the intrusive thoughts.

He was so depressed but never sought help from anyone.

It’s the same old story. But with a different meaning, now that it was he who was feeling the hurt.
