Look Over Your Shoulder is one of my favorite Mark Heard songs, it talks about no matter what you have done in your past and what mistakes you make in life, once you accept Jesus (can hear the groans of people reading about christian stuff now) it doesn't matter, it is forgiven and in Gods eyes forgotten-alot of the time christians esp. (and people in general), myself included for sure, let the memory and fear of past failures and the fear of future mistakes render them useless, but like the song says it takes more than that "for the rock of forgiveness (Jesus/God's love, forgiveness) to melt in the rain", and also "if you must be afraid, be afraid of yourself" because once you receive God's forgiveness He isnt up there dangling your mistakes over your head waiting to bash you with them...we bash ourselves with our own pasts...
and anyways, is that off topic since it dealt with a song i posted? i guess i need to study up on what will classify off topic :P
but, it does deal with love as well!
