I AM BLOG.

I have this bad habit of listening to music without really listening to the lyrics (ie: Lady Gag’s Christmas Tree song… It’s bad. Real bad). Anyways, ever since I heard Love Song by Third Day, I always thought it was about man singing to God.

Well, I bought the song today and looked up the lyrics and it’s about God singing to man. It’s such a humbling song. I wonder what the song writer went through while writing this. He must have been in a place of such brokenness.

I could sit here and ramble on and on about the lyrics, but I think reading through them would probably be more meaningful to you. When I think about what Jesus did on the Cross, sometimes I think I know what it meant. But whenever I really think about it, I don’t think I will ever grasp the gravity of it all. It truly was an amazing gift.

Heh. I was thinking about Christmas and I then I wrote about Easter. I guess it’s ok because it all comes to the same conclusion. God is love.

Third Day – Love Song
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

Just to be with you, I’d do anything
There’s no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I’d give anything
I would give my life away.

I’ve heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I’ve never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

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 gave 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
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

Today is more than me
The disarray of things that I can only hold or see
For today You shine Your light
What You say that’s more than words is spoken in your eyes
 
Colors in array
Will show themselves before we fly away
Colors in array
 
For love and for the day
For love, for truth, for life, and all eternity
For this song You shine Your light
For this song that’s more than words will reach into Your eyes
 
Colors in array
Will show themselves before we fly away
Colors in array

This song is about the messiness of life. Yet, when we step back we find that it is the beautiful mosaic that we are a part of. We go through life learning how to see this. We grow, we learn. The weight of eternity is pulling us forward. The closer we get, the more vivid the colors of life become. What has seemed like chaos becomes a work of art. –Eric OwYoung
