***Pulling at My Heart

-Lyrics-
-*-

Break down
Break back
Half-stack
Shake the ground
Feel the sound
6 days to create
we've sealed our fate

Take my strife 
Breath my life
I cut through my 
Heart like a knife
You're not that hard to comprehend
I cant understand these men

-----I feel it------
...I feel it pulling at my heart

then 
again
I stand at the front gate
By your side is where I wait
You command
And I still stand
In the power of your arms

Dead to sin
With you I'll win
You're in my soul
And under my skin
Set me up so I wont fall
Give me strength
Break down this wall

-----I feel it------
...I feel it pulling at my heart

Still willing
And they're killing me
Maybe then someone would see
A life not lost
Christ paid the cost
And caried the cross

But now I'm here
And there I'll be
Until I break these chains
And fly free
Will he be me?
At least I'll try
Cause he's in me
As for me I'll die

-----I feel it------
...I feel it pulling at my heart

   "Pulling at My Heart" is a very long and complicated song...not as much complicated as there are many ideas crammed into one song. 
   "6 days to create" refers to God's creation of the earth in 6 days (he rested on the 7th). The next line, "We've sealed our fate" describes Adam and Eve's choice to deceive God, and eat the fruit from the forbidden tree--ensuring man's fate.
    Jesus died on the cross for our sins; so we may be forgiven for our sins. We are to give our pain and suffering to him, and repent of our sins, and we will be forgiven.

    Rev. 21:4
  
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

    "I cut through my/Heart like a knife" speaks of the pain I cause myself through sin.

    Rom. 6:1-4

   "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."  

    The last verse is perhaps the most hard to understand. What it is saying is that I am here NOW, and I am going to be here, until I die and go to heaven.  And while I am here, through him, I'm going to try to be as Christ like as I possibly can. Although he is the one and only living God, and I am his servant who will die a mortal death to live eternally with him.
