What does love look like?
This has been the question that I am asking, what does your love for me look like, how do I learn from how you loved me so that I can love others in that same manner. Father you are the teacher of love, how to love, what love is, what it really is. In these last few days that Father has been revealing so much about how I am to be Romanced, how can I ever Romance someone if I do not know the Romance of the Father? This fact has led me to just sit, read, ask the Father how he loves me, tangible ways, in my day, in my walk to class, in my lunch with a friend. When I accepted Christ into my life, I did more than just say some words, I accepted the proposal of a loving God who simply wants to love us!
And oh how this song captures almost everything that has been rocking me in the last few days!
What does love look like? is the question I've 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 I've 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 I've 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 anybody's looking for love in all the wrong places
If you've 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
All is Amazing in the Love of my Father!
