Lent : Love Song

I first heard this song in high school. I vividly remember sitting in my friend Michelle's van in a Denny's parking lot. She put this tape in and said: 'This is supposed to be Jesus. Singing to us.' The very idea of Christ singing His love to us--that His life, death and resurrection is his Love Song--was amazing. And still is.

'Love Song'

by Third Day

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'd do anything.

There's no price I would not pay.

Just to be with you, I'd give everything.

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.

But all of those dreams are an empty emotion.

It can never be done.

I've never swam the deepest ocean,

But I walked upon the raging sea.

Chorus:

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 everything.

I would give my life away.

(Bridge) 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.
