Arbor North, a musically gifted husband and wife, recently graced the digital stage with their latest release, “You, Me and Jesus.” In this soul-stirring performance, the couple delves into the ups and downs of marital life, affirming their unwavering commitment to keep Christ as their cornerstone.
Marriage, as presented in the Scriptures, is a sacred union designed by God to mirror His love for His people. Ephesians 5:25 notes, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” The song by Arbor North echoes this very sentiment. In navigating the complexities of married life—those inevitable disagreements, personal flaws, and external pressures—the couple resolves to turn to the eternal wisdom found in Christ.
The song begins with the couple acknowledging the reality that challenges await them. It’s reminiscent of the Apostle Paul’s teaching in Romans 12:12, where believers are urged to be “joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” They sing not of a fairytale romance, but of a God-centered union that’s rooted deeply in faith.
The chorus elevates this poignant narrative to a higher level of spiritual and emotional resonance. The couple sings of standing strong, hand in hand, kneeling before the divine. “When the waters rise and we face the fire, we’ll rest in our foundation. Hand in hand, and on our knees, nothing between us. You, me, and Jesus.” Their words are an affirmation, a testament to the binding force of love that exists when Christ is the center. As stated in Matthew 19:6, “So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
Through every verse and chorus, the duo is not just performing; they’re worshipping. They’re not merely singing; they’re praying. The couple, adorned in wedding attire, beautifully recapture the essence of a wedding ceremony and translate it into a continual, daily vow. As they gaze into each other’s eyes, they’re also looking toward Christ, who is the third strand in their marital cord, as stated in Ecclesiastes 4:12, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
The song and its accompanying visuals serve as both a celebration and a cautionary tale. To treasure marital happiness, to withstand life’s tempests, and to truly live out the Christian values professed at the altar, Arbor North holds fast to the conviction that Christ must be at the center.
