On the Tree of Life
By Ramone - April 4, 2007
Two days ago as I arrived at my in-laws' place to visit my wife & newborn son (who are staying there for a few weeks), I seemed to randomly and suddenly have the old Nat King Cole song "Unforgettable" running through my head, which his daughter Natalie inserted herself into later in order to make it into a beautiful duet:
"Unforgettable, that's what you are...I realized later that it is God singing to us, or us singing to God. He is certainly unforgettable, isn't He? But still more amazing, like daughter singing to father, our Father sings to us and says, "I think you are unforgettable, too!"
It's incredible that someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable, too."
He is eternal... forever! And in all eternity, He will never forget you. You are "unforgettable" to Him! The Unforgettable One finds you completely unforgettable, too!
"You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(Song of Songs) I understood this, but with everything going on I didn't have time to really just sit in His presence and absorb it. The next night I confronted my own doubt -- "Am I really 'unforgettable' to You, God?" As I did the dishes, He answered:
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!
...Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me."
"See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands... I will not forget you!" (Isaiah 49)
Are not the eternal nail scars on Christ's hands proof that He will never forget you, that He considers you eternally "unforgettable"? Hasn't He put a heart on the Eternal Tree with your name in it?
Unforgettable(words and music by Irving Gordon)
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable, too
Unforgettable, in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable, too
