Love Mumford And Sons! Beautifully subtle, honest lyrics about faith...

An observation:

To me, this song is strongly Christian and describes a hope and a longing for heaven, of meeting Christ face-to-face and having him wipe away all tears. It describes a person, weary of and having been hurt by what passes for "love" in this life, who longs to finally experience the fullness of God's perfect love.

Relevant verses: Revelation 21:4 [NIV] ‘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.”; 1 John 4:18 [NIV] "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear..."

I think you are right. And love the scripture as a back bone. Thanks.
