Singer Jason Min released the music video for his song “Something I Said”. The single and music video has a profound meaning to the artist and his faith. Here’s more from the singer:

The inspiration for the song actually comes from the book of Hosea, one of my favorite books in the Bible that tells the heartbreaking story of a man who must marry and love a woman he knows will cheat on him time and time again. The climax of the story occurs when Hosea finds himself at a slave market paying the price of a female slave to buy his own wife back. In this beautiful scene of utter brokenness and humility, Hosea takes Gomer home and says to her, “Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.” (Hosea 3:3)

I remember reading this over and over again wondering what it would be like to be in a loveless marriage with an adulterous wife. I decided that I wanted to write a song that would capture the heart of a man who has no idea why his marriage with his wife has deteriorated and desperately wants to recapture a love that has been lost. In doing so, I spent a lot of time thinking about my own relationship with God, the consummate lover who pleads with me to come back to Him even when every ounce of my being wants to rebel, a God who watches me cheat on him daily in my worldly pursuits and yet willingly chooses to love me, a God who paid the ultimate price to buy me back.

You can get the track on or amazon. Also listen to his song The Man and His Wife.

Something I Said by Jason Min

Lyrics to Something I Said by Jason Min

Let’s take a drive down the road, Love, to the spot in the park
with the trees and the waterfall and the bench where we met
I’m on the porch you’re at the table, that’s how it is most nights
You’re looking out through the window, I’m looking in at you

’Cause every time they come for you
you leave your ring with me
And I’m wondering when you’re coming back home
and if you were ever mine

Don’t go to sleep, not tonight, Love, let’s stay awake for a while
I know it’s late and you’re tired, but can I talk to you now
Maybe we’ll find what we lost, Love, I pray that we do
I’m pretty sure that I’m dying a little faster than you

’Cause every time they come for you
you leave your ring with me
And I’m wondering when you’re coming back home
and if you were ever mine

Was it something I did, was it something I said to you
Was it something I did, was it something I said to you

’Cause every time they come for you
you leave your ring with me
And I’m wondering when you’re coming back home
and if you were ever mine

Let’s take a drive down the road, Love, to the spot in the park
with the trees and the waterfall and the bench where we met
