we love you, jesus..

i'm the kind of guy that never reads ppl's song lyrics when they post it up on their blogs. but i cannot help it here. "we love you, jesus", the radio song for shane and shane's new album, pages. an absolute declaration of love that we can only pray and ask that the Holy Spirit can give to us.

life has so many difficulties and decisions that give us so much pain. and only after you truly look at yourself can you see where you are. by the time you realize to do so, then you've already made a wall so protective that even you yourself do not know what to do about yourself. and when you try to jump the wall, you find a pain so profound and a need so great that your knees just buckle. truly, truly, if only we can love our Jesus more and more, then he will be our comforter, our breaker of walls and our healer.

Opening the door to dine with Him.
Traveling to Earth to let us in.
Laying down His glory crown of old.
Setting up the wedding feast foretold.

Oh, we can't contain our love.
We turn it up loud!

We love You, Jesus!
For so many reasons.
For death and life and freedom.
Even now, we love you.

What manner of love is this that You would say
your sin is Mine, I'll take it to the grave. (then rising).
Death oh, death where is your sting today?
Death is swallowed up in victory.

We love You, Jesus!
For so many reasons.
For death and life and freedom.
Even now, we love you.
We love You, Jesus!
In and out of seasons.
In valleys and on top of mountains.
Even now, can we sing.

We love you Jesus!
Jesus!
