Thanks to the blogkeeper at One Year Viewed From Space for the compliment on my “Mister Pitiful” post from a week or two ago, where I ruminated on a line from Thunder On The Mountain. He also goes on to provide his own very interesting angle on the song.

Thanks also to Ronnie who offers another insight on the same line, i.e., For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself, saying:

Doesn’t it paraphrase John 3:16?

For the love of God = For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son

You oughta take pity on yourselves = that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Just a thought especially when you substitute the synonym “mercy” for “pity.”
