"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
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 and tell me
"What does love look like?" is the question Ive been pondering
"What does love look like?" If all of life comes down to love then tell me
"What does love look like?" is the question Ive been pondering
"What does love look like?"
Then I sat down a little frustrated and confused
Your Fire of life comes down to love. And love has to be more than sentiment,
More than selfishness and selfish gain
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, the heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding.
Arms wide open, 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.
And as I sat there, weeping, crying,
Those beautiful Eyes full of desire and Love.
And He said to me
"You shall love Me..You shall love Me."
With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
"You shall love Me.. You shall love Me.."
"If anybody is 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
'Cause you were made for abandon your heart and listen
'Cause you were made for Someone greater, Someone bigger, so follow Me
And you'll come alive when you learn to die"
And He said to me
"You shall love Me. You shall love Me"
With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
