Because I Love I Am Something
I’m not nothing. In fact, I am something. Not because of how particularly special I am just by being me…but because I love. Yep, love is the key.
Without love I’m nothing. What does it matter what I do in my life, with my life, if I don’t have love? Without love everything and anything I do is motivated by selfishness. What else could it be? If I don’t love others, then my focus is on me by default. And as I’ve said many times here in my articles…self never gets enough. Self is never satisfied.
But I CAN love. And because I can love, it points me to a Creator who loves. Where else could love originate? It isn’t a necessary in a random, evolutionary process. Love doesn’t make a man a stronger hunter or gatherer. It doesn’t build muscles or enhance survival skills. In fact, love could actually hinder those things.
Love comes directly from our living, loving Creator. He says I am something worth loving and worth sacrificing for, and since He says so, I believe it. Do you? Here are the words and music I wrote to further express it…
Because I Can Love
What made You think
That I was worth the risk You took?
What made You take the time
To write Your Holy Book?
I don’t believe I’d give myself a second look,
But You did because You love.
You made a world
That was as perfect as could be,
But then I broke it
When You gave it all to me…
By going through the gate You made to set me free.
This You did because You love…me.
Because You love me so…in spite of all You know…
Because You did the most that You could ever do…
Because I clearly see…evidence of You in me…
Because I can love…I do love…You!
You put a life
And a will inside my soul.
You knew true love
Would be to give me full control.
But knowing You is all that ever makes me whole.
I trust You because You love…me.
I can live because You live!
I can love because You love!
