Love

Love is essential for life. Love. We all long for a deep & lasting love. One that can fill us completely, fully & forever.  A love that is not based on what we do or don't do. We search for this love, for something to fill that hole in our hearts. Love. Where can a love like this be found?


  True, real, lasting & forever love can be found in only one place. 


It is only in Him that you will find a love that fills you fully, completely & forever. A love that takes you as you are right here right now. A love that loves you even if you don't love back in return. In Jesus is where true love is found. He loves you right now. He fights for you. He is calling you by name to come, come to Him and bask in His great love.

Happy Valentines Day!

   

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like? 

What does love look like? is the question Ive been asking of You 
Once believed that love was romance, just a chance 
I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful 
I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this 
All You ever wanted was my attention 
All You ever wanted was love from me
All You ever wanted was my affections to sit here at Your feet and tell me 
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like? If all of life comes down to love then tell me 
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like?

Then I sat down a little frustrated and confused 
Your fire of life comes down to love. And love has to be more than sentiment,
More than selfishness and selfish gain 

Then I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me 
I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me
He was looking at me looking at Him, staring through me
I could not escape those beautiful eyes 
And I began to weep and weep 

He had arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding. 
Arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding
Loves definition 
Loves definition, was looking at me 
Looking at Him. Hanging on a tree
I began to weep and weep and weep and weep
This is how I know what love is.

And as I sat there, weeping, crying, those beautiful eyes 
Full of desire and love. And He said to me
You shall love Me..You shall love Me.
With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
You shall love Me.. You shall love Me..

If anybodys looking for love in all the wrong places 
If youve been searching for love, come to Me. Come to me. 
Take up your cross. Deny yourself. 
Forget your fathers house and run. Run with Me. 
Cause you were made for abandon your heart and listen
Cause you were made for Someone greater, Someone bigger, so follow Me. 
And youll come alive when you learn to die.
And He said to me

You shall love Me. You shall love Me

With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
