This song should be a soft sell to everyone on the love that won't let go from the patient God Who lavishes grace upon us. Even though I so often bring such tainted love to Christ, He always loves me and forgives me and never lets go of me. Praise God for His love!
"Patient God/Love That Won't Let Go"
(parody of "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go" by Soft Cell [extended single version]; copyright Nathan Ludwick 6/25/2014)
(Hebrews 13:5, Numbers 14:13-20, Genesis 6:5-8, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalms 139, Habakkuk 2:4, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Philippians 3:7-20, Matthew 11:28-30, Hosea 2, Hosea 11, 1 John 1:9, Psalms 28, Psalms 32, Psalms 38, Psalms 40, Psalms 42, Psalms 51, Psalms 66:16, Psalms 80:1-7, Psalms 103, Psalms 136, Psalms 138, Hebrews 4:14-16, Jude 1:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Matthew 14:22-33, 2 Peter 3:8-9, John 6:35-40, Romans 6:14-18, Romans 7:14-25)
Sometimes I feel You're going to
Run away- You've got to
Get away
From the pain I drive into the heart of You
Your love and care
Clings and goes nowhere
I'm not lost- (just) defiant
Need to stop and turn- help me, Jesus Christ!
Once I ran to You (I ran)
Now I run from You
This tainted love I've given
You gave me all- Oh, Lord- forgive me
Take my tears and cast my sins all...out!
...Tainted love
Patient God
Now I know I've got to
Just obey- I've got to
Walk by faith
You don't really want sacrifice from me
To make things right
A heart broken- You won't despise
When I read Psalms 138 [one three eight]
Lord, I'm sorry and I pray verse 8
Once I ran from You (I ran)
Now I come to You
Sustaining Love's forgiven
I gave You all my wrongs- You tell me,
"Take My yoke and find rest for your soul!"
Oh....Trust My Love
...Patient God
Just trust Me please
I will not hand you over- see?
I love you though you hurt Me so
I won't come in wrath- My heart recoils
...Thank You, God- Patient God (x2)
Touch me, Savior- Tame my lusts!
Touch me, Savior- Teach me trust!
Teach me Love
Thank You, God
Patient God! (Patient God!)
....................
Baby, baby
Where did your trust go?
Oh, just believe Me
Won't ever leave you alone
Lord God, Your Word encourages, spurs me- (but) feelings entwine me
They mystify me
Then I doubt my Dad
You came into my life
So tenderly
With eternal love
Jer. 31:3
And now Lord, I surrender
I'm helpless, but
You know I believe
Your blood has saved me
Oh, baby, baby
Where did your trust go?
Oh, just believe me
Won't ever leave you alone
Oh, baby, baby
Where did your trust go?
Oh, just believe Me
Won't ever leave you alone
I gave to You my life
Wholeheartedly
(And) like 1:9 1st. John
My sins since that day
I know when I'm surrendered
And confessing
I know You hear me
You then forgive me
Savior, Savior
Why'd I take control?
Oh, Savior, Savior
Won't You lead me once more?
I had this burning, churning, turning feeling inside me
Deep inside me
And it hurt so bad
Savior, Savior, (Savior)
There's where Your love flowed
You forgave me
And You lead me once more
I know Your love's forever- so help me see
In Hebrews 13, You won't ever leave me
Oh, Savior, Savior
There's where Your love flowed
You never let go
Here, there, everywhere-
It's forever!
So help us see
In Hebrews 13, You won't ever leave me
Oh, Savior, Savior
There's where Your love flowed
Here, there, everywhere
Oh, Savior, Savior
You never let go
Oh, Savior- I know You won't leave me
Your love's eternal, eternal, eternal- I feel it inside me
Oh, deep inside me
And it makes me glad
Oh, Savior, Savior...
(See Exodus 20:25 NLT for the origin of the blog title.) "My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for The King; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer." (Psalms 45:1) [If the last part of that verse is true for me, it's only because of Jesus in me. He's my only good. I am nothing without Him. He must increase and I must decrease.] "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." (Psalms 19:14)

I've heard the first song several times before, but I can't the same for the second one. Nice songs!
