When I picture CUC's "Rockstar" I see this animation of two hand-drawn lines, slowly approaching each other. One of the lines is straight, constant, and easy to define. It is the first verse, where the dominant word is "you." This line I like to call, "God."
The other line, however, looks a lot like a stock market ticker. I can see that it moves closer to the first line over time, but very erratically. There are times where the second line is moving away from the first, times where it is moving parallel to the first, and others where it, ever so slightly, turns toward the first line. In the second verse, the dominant word is "I." This verse is all about me.
God and I have something in common. Both of us are largely consumed with chris. God's dominant word, you, shows who He is concerned with. So does mine. He is so focused on pursuing me that his hand-drawn line is constantly heading in my direction, constantly attempting to come closer to me.
My line, however, is all over the place. Consumed with anything and everything...except that line. It is only when I'm able to put aside those things and focus on God that I'm able to deepen my relationship with Him. It is only then that I can hear Him saying
I wanna be where you are.
