And what a relief that is.Īs we get into the second verse, the lyrics get even more reassuring. When I hear this song, I hear God telling me that I’m not alone. This couplet is sung every time before the chorus, which means its sung a lot, and that also shows that its central to the song. And if that’s not a sign of wanting to “give you love”, then what is?

We have a personal, relational God who knows our hearts and desires a relationship with each and every one of us. But even with it, as Christians, we are literally God’s children, so it still works. The reference to “baby” is the only romantic term in the song. Jesus saved the day because He saved us from hell, and God continues to work miracles every day. We can also say God is ‘one call away’, because we can pray at any time, anywhere. God is with you, He is with me, and He is with every one of His children. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?” And that’s so much better than Superman, who can only be in one place at one time. As Jeremiah 23:23-24 says, “I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only. Don’t believe me? Let’s go through the lyrics. I know that likely wasn’t its original intention – but if the shoe fits, why not wear it? To me, it only shows that each of us is aching for the type of love only God can give. A pop ballad song in the secular world that can be related to Jesus’ love? Amazing. Because what person doesn’t want a sacrificial love like that?īut it was when the song was nearly finished that my mom piped up, commenting, “This song shows God’s love.” I was caught off-guard because it’s not what I would classify as “Christian music”.īut, after my initial “No, it’s too romantic”, I realized that she was right. I didn’t think much of it, other than that I liked the song, I liked the singer (high five to those who remember Charlie singing covers on Youtube) and I liked the love the lyrics were describing. While in the car with my family this summer, the song One Call Away by Charlie Puth started playing on the radio.
