This is how I know what love is...

Hello, yes I am still here. I am aware that is now February and I have not blogged since December, but life is moving fast and I am trying to keep up! :o) So as my first post of 2011, I thought I would share this amazing song I heard the other day. Now keep an open mind. It is kinda long and repetitive. I would recommend listening when you have a quite moment. The first time I heard it, I was folding laundry while the kids were sleeping and by the middle of the song, I was on my face worshiping.

Thank you Jesus for teaching me what love is. My heart is yours Lord. I will love you with my arms wide open and my heart exposed. Thank you for showing me how much you love me even in the middle of me folding laundry. I don't ever want to be too busy to sit at your feet. God, I pray for anyone who is looking for love, the perfect mate, or just searching but not sure what for, I pray they find You first. Teach us to wait on You Lord. You are so faithful. Help us to surrender our selfishness so that we can be examples of Your love to everyone around us. Teach us to how to love you without holding back.

These are the lyrics to the song:

Arms Wide Open

Misty Edwards

“What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been pondering; “What does love look like?”

“What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been asking of You

I once believed that love was romance, just a chance

I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful

I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this

All You ever wanted was my attention, all You ever wanted was love from me

All You ever wanted was my affections, to sit here at Your feet

Then I sat down, a little frustrated and confused; if all of life comes down to love

Then love has to be more than sentiment, more than selfishness and selfish gain

And then I saw Him there, hanging on a tree, looking at me

I saw Him there, hanging on a tree, looking at me

He was looking at me, looking at Him, staring through me

I could not escape those beautiful eyes, and I began to weep and weep

He had arms wide open, a heart exposed

Arms wide open; He was bleeding, bleeding

Love’s definition, love’s definition was looking at me

Looking at Him, hanging on a tree, I began to weep and weep and weep and weep

This is how I know what love is, this is how I know what love is

And as I sat there weepweeping, crying, those beautiful eyes, full of desire and love

He said to me, “You shall love Me, You shall love Me

You shall love Me, You shall love Me”

With arms wide open, a heart exposed

With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

If anybody’s looking for love in all the wrong places

If you’ve been searching for love, come to Me, come to Me

Take up your cross, deny yourself, forget your father’s house and run, run with Me

You were made for abandonment, wholeheartedness

You were made for someone greater, someone bigger, so follow Me

And You’ll come alive when you learn to die.
