What do You think Love is?

New Series. Sort of. Something for Tuesdays.

What do You think Love is? Love is elusive. Powerful. Different. Strange. Needed. Painful. Essential. Burning. But what is it?

At its core. At its heart. What is Love?

"Everybody's Looking for Love. Oh. Oh."

- Jason Derulo

"Can Anybody find Me Somebody to love?"

- Queen

Today, in starting a new sort-of-series to try and understand the crux of the Christian faith, that God is Love, I want to share a song. Contrary to popular belief, there is a song that has been teaching me, for the last few years, about what love is:

I am not always the biggest fan of certain famous churches, worship collectives, or trends in Christianity. But the words here are beautiful. And, if we are being honest, do tell us what Love is:

[Verse 1:]

Who breaks the power of sin and darkness

Whose love is mighty and so much stronger

The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder

And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder

The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus:]

This is amazing grace

This is unfailing love

That You would take my place

That You would bear my cross

You lay down Your life

That I would be set free

Oh, Jesus, I sing for

All that You've done for me

[Verse 2:]

Who brings our chaos back into order

Who makes the orphan a son and daughter

The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice

Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance

The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy, worthy, worthy

Oh

[Chorus]

Check back next week for something else, a song, a picture, a quote or something else, which is teaching me what Love is. But what do you think? Does this resonate with your understanding, belief, experience, or conviction of what Love is? I'd love to hear your thoughts/
