Love
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
February is upon us, and, as Valentine’s Day fast approaches (oh, I am sure excited to romance my bride), I had a brief perspective shift… The Christian band, "Third Day" has long been one of my favorites, and their "Love Song" does a fine job of summing up what I was thinking (see video link below): [Verse 1] I’ve heard it said that a man would climb a mountain Just to be with the one he loves. How many times has he broken that promise It has never been done. I’ve never climbed the highest mountain, But I walked the hill of Calvary. [Chorus] Just to be with you, I will do anything There’s no price I would not pay no Just to be with you, I would give anything I would give my life away. [Verse 2] I’ve heard it said that a man would swim the ocean Just to be with the one he loves. All of those dreams are an empty emotion It has never been done. I’ve never swam the deepest ocean, But I walked upon the raging sea. [Repeat Chorus] I know that you don’t understand The fullness of my love How I died upon the cross for your sins And I know that you don’t realize How much that I give you But I promise, I would do it all again Just to be with you, I’ve done everything There’s no price I did not pay, no Just to be with you, I gave everything Yes I gave my life away. Just to be with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zqYJj5ucG8
