What is Love? - Original Song

(verse 1)
Love’s a precious thing
Why do we take it so lightly?
We say those simple words
But do we know what we’re saying?

(verse 2)
Love’s a gift
So why do we make it a burden?
So often we show love
But are we really?

--- Instrumental ---


(verse 3)
Love is patient
Why aren’t we?
So many times we won’t wait
Why don’t we?

(verse 4)
Love is all we need
So why do we feel empty?
We turn to other things
But don’t we know better?

(bridge)
He felt and He hurt and He bled and He died
On that cross two thousand years ago
Cause you heard our cry
Lord come save

And He felt and He hurt and He bled and He died
For all now ‘cause He loves us so
You hear our cry
Lord come change

(ending)
Lord come save
For the glory of your name
Lord come change
By the power of your love
Lord come heal
By the mercy of your grace
Lord come love
Lord come love

sIf this is representative of the sort of songs you write, I'd like to see more. ^_^ I especially like the line at the last part, "Lord come save/ for the glory of your name" and how you tie his experience on earth and his presence in our lives into the magical and earth-shaking power of love. (What is Love, truly? Perhaps a debate for a different time. :p But you did a good job presenting several key aspects of it in a thought-provoking way, esp. in vs. 1 and 3.)

yeah...most of my songs tend to deal more with...well, not God I guess lol.

Yeah, I decided I wanted to write a song with the title 'What Is Love?'...it kinda worked, twas harder to try to 'pin down' love than I thought it would be.
