i know...

you're probably wondering what's up with me and lyrics... well, it's simply that music seems to be saying things better than i'm able to right now. i first heard the song below sometime during late spring of senior year at the justin mcroberts concert i went to. while i was greatly affected by it then, i didn't think much of it until i heard it for the second time this past august right before leaving for school. i was sitting with sarah and it randomly came on (well, in God's eyes it surely was no accident). tears came to my eyes immediately as i listened to the harshly sung words. from my point of view, the word "love" in this song describes a unhealthy and/or ungodly relationship. without going into unnecessary detail, it illustrates a situation i recently found myself to be in. i was blessed to hear this song once again as it put things into perspective for me perfectly. and i thank my true loving Father for using it to help me heal.

"Love" performed by Justin McRoberts

Love...
Is it all that you want?
Is it everything you've hoped for?
Love...
Is it more than the word?
That you use when you look at her

Love!
It'll push you around
It'll make you a poor man
Change your picture of heaven, heaven
Love!
It'll make you a man
Then she'll make you a child again

Love...
Does it keep you awake?
Does it change everything you see?
Love...
Is it worth what you give?
Is it everything you need?

Love!
It'll push you around
It'll make you a poor man
Change your picture of heaven, heaven
Love!
It'll make you a man
Then she'll make you a child again

Love! Love!
Love! Love!

Love...
Is it all that you want?
Is it everything you've worked for?
Love...
Is it wearing you down?!

Love!
It'll push you around
It'll make you a poor man
Change your picture of heaven, heaven
Love!
It'll make you a man
Then she'll make you a child again

Love! Love!
Love! Love!
