Today's PAYG used this song as it's way in to a reflection on part of Isaiah:

In my dream when I'm asleep
I' m running through the streets
Searching high and low
And when I find the One I love
Hold the One I'm dreaming of
I'll never let Him go

I give the years away
For one golden day
Cause all I long for most
Is mine when He comes close to me

Music calling from the sea
Washes over me
And almost gets me there
I'll let the wild wind carry me
Beyond the things I see
Yeah I'll go anywere

I'd give the years away
For one golden day
Cause all I long for most
Is mïne when He comes close to me

If I'm honest, I struggled with the idea of "giving the years away" for "one golden day"

So I wonder, for whom or for what would you give it all away, if indeed you would?  I guess it reminds me a bit of a saying from Stanley Hauerwas that stuck in my mind to the effect that 'if nothing is worth dying for, in the end you die for nothing'.  So perhaps the song is a reminder about priorities, about what really matters, and about how we spend the time and energy we do have?

What do you think?
