Anthony Evans has a song on his lastest CD called "Love Is." I've heard this song many times before and really liked it, but today the lyrics hit me in a way they haven't before. I listened to it repeatedly. I've been thinking a lot about love lately and how I lack it and how I can't love apart from Christ. The first verse left me in stunned silence becuz it described me (and a lot of other ppl I assume) so vividly. But then the second verse brings such hope as it describes Christ. Here it is:
Love is
A. Evans, J. Ingram
I said I loved you
But I protected, and kept my heart
From you (love doesn't hide and self protect)
I saw your hurting eyes still I decided to
Move away
keep myself safe (love is reckless, not safe)
I apologize cause I’ve realized
Love is willing to get hurt
Love gives needing no return
When Love lives it needs no words
I’ve learned that’s what
Love Is
You said you loved me
So you came and you gave it all
For me
You could of changed your mind but still you decided to
walk that road knowing it would lead you
to your end
and I live
Chorus
It can be uncertain but still
It moves because it’s worth it. (powerful)
It is my prayer that day by day the Lord will help me to love Him above anything else and to love people with reckless abandon.
