I See Love

As I sit here and write, I could not help but share with you the lyrics of the song "I See Love." I sit here and pray, not being able to sleep, thinking about the amazing act of Jesus' death on the Cross. The brutality of His death so that we might live amazes me each day, with each breath- I desire to love Him more. Isaiah tells us that "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. Chastisement that brought us peace was upon him, and by HIS stripes we are HEALED. GOD HAS LAID UPON HIM the iniquity of us all." Praise the Lord. I do not know about you, but all I can see is LOVE.

The song is written by Third Day, Mercy Me, and Steven Curtis Chapman.

ome see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you


With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave...

I see LOVE, what do you see?
