Description
Inspired by the chorus of the song, A Thousand Years, by Christina Perri.

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

The phrase "I have love you for a thousand years..." sounds like it was taken right from the mouth of God, leaving me with what seemed to be a call and response between two lovers, within the main chorus. Enter the reference to Song of Solomon [or Song of Songs], the inspired picture of Christ and his bride. Biblically, the number of one thousand, when referring to time, often signifies something indefinite, innumerable, or immeasurable; but also carries with it the connotation that it is of divine fullness or completeness. "He remembers His covenant forever, the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations," (Psa. 105:8)

This idea is also very reminiscent of Paul's "call and response" presented to the Romans.
Rom. 8:36-39
As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The iPhone texting is just the format I could see it likely going down in the contemporary age.
