Love was when God became a man
locked in time and space, without rank or place
Love was God born of Jewish kin
just a carpenter with some fishermen
Love was when Jesus walked in history
lovingly He brought a new life that's free
Love was God nailed to bleed and die
To reach and love one such as I
Love was when God became a man
down where I could see Love that reached to me
Love was God dying for my sin
and so trapped was I, my whole world caved in
Love was when Jesus met me, now it's real
lovingly He came, I can feel He's real!
Love was God, only He would try
to reach and love one such as I
such an amazing song which captures the revolutionary love of Jesus! love was coming down to this screwed up world, away from the amazing communion of the trinity, to live among people that hated him. He not only lived among them, he served them, and offered them new life. they rejected him, they killed him.
i stand amazed at how much God did, and how much I fall short in loving others and loving God. All my petty people-problems just somehow don't seem justifiable when I look at Jesus.
and something that is even more amazing, that God would even bother to reach out to such a failure as I! despite the numerous times i have disobeyed him, lived selfishly and failed to love His people, He still bothers to make Himself real to me.
now
that's love.
