The Book of Love



In the 1950's the Monotones came out with a song called "The Book of Love."  I used to listen to it cause I was an "oldies" music fan; still am.  Catchy melody and lyrics.

I wonder wonder who, oouu who 
Who wrote the book of love

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh who wrote the book of love
I've got to know the answer
Was it someone from above

I wonder wonder who, be-do-do who
Who wrote the book of love

Chapter one says to love her
You love her with all your heart

Chapter two you tell her
You never, never, never, never, ever wanna part

In chapter three remember
The meaning of romance

In chapter four you break up 
But you give her just one more chance


Wow, do the Monotones have any idea that they've just outlined the love story between God and His created?

Chapter 1: God creates the love bond between Him and His created beings.
Chapter 2: they mess up but He assures them of His promise that He will never, never, never, never ever part from them.  (Plus He has a plan to restore that relationship).
Chapter 3: He romances the Israelites after they're out of slavery, sending food and water and cloud cover for those sunny days, warmth at night, all the gifts he can send them even though they're so far away.
Chapter 4: they're firmly established as His, but they go ahead and prostitute themselves to other Gods and God divorces the children of Israel but then offers them a second chance...

And that story gets repeated throughout the ages, in the life of every follower of Jesus.  Over and over and over.  So, yes, Monotones, The Book of Love was written by Someone from above.

Cool.

Just thought it was neat.  That's all.
