Laser Love

This song by After The Fire has been buzzing round my head for a few months now. It is the title track of the album of the same name from about 1979. The words tell of how God's love searches deep into us, but does not let us go. God's love is like an xray into the depths of our lives, there is nothing that we can hide from Him, but still He loves us all the same. I look upon it as God's laser love is in effect part of our consciences. We know when we have done something wrong, or are about to. We get those pricks in our heads to tell us. God wants us to do things His way, He is separating all the wrong things from the right. He has the right way for us, but still gives us the freewill to choose whether to or not.

Laser Love

Your love is like a laser burning right into my life
You knowing my weaknesses you cut me like a knife
You're separating all the wrong things from the right

It's like a laser laser love

Your love is like an x-ray there is nothing I can hide
You hold me to the light you see what is inside
It's all so clear when it's all there in black and white

Just like a laser laser love

Now and then I think about my life
Think about the way that it used to be
I was just a lonely boy standing in the cold until you sheltered me
Trying to find a way that I could do everything I want
And somehow still be free
Then you came along and told me how it really had to be

It's a laser love
It's a laser love
Just like a laser laser
Just like a laser laser love

Your love is like an optical illusion in a book
There's more than one way you can see it when you took
And when I saw it the world around me shook

Like a laser laser love

Your love is like a laser burning right into my life
You know my weakness you cut me like a knife
You're separating all the wrong things from the right

It's like a laser laser
It's like a laser laser
It's like a laser laser love
