Verse 1
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is. But I’m a tell you what true love is. Love is not what you see in the movies. Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene, you know what I mean? I’m telling you right now, true love is sacrifice. Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself, love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love. Love is when you lay down your life for another, whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister, its even laying down your life for your enemies, that’s unthinkable, but think about that. Love is true. Think.
Chorus:
I’ll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I’ll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love
Verse 2
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love is everlasting, its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time, love is the only thing that will last when you die, but ask the question why? Do you have love?
Chorus
Chorus:
I’ll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I’ll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love
Verse 3
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You’re probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends, but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I’m going to tell you who did that, the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow, hanging on a cross for your sin my sins, that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him, that is love. God is true love, and if you don’t know this love, now is the time to know, perfect love.
Chorus
Chorus:
I’ll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
Jaeson Jaeson can you tell me, Love is God and God is Love, where you stand? accept both?
我赞同 C.S.Lewis 的说法:
有两种情况,都可以视為「接近神」(Nearness to God),我们必须加以区别。一是形像上与神相似(Likeness to God)。……人类(不论善恶)以及天使(包括以坠落的)都比动物更接近上帝。他们的本性从这方面来看,比较「接近」神性。另一种接近,我们称之為对上帝趋近上的接近(Nearness of approach)。当我们非常「靠近」神时,就必然能迅速地与神结合,朝见祂的面光,享受在神裡的喜悦。一但能分辨相似上的接近与趋近上的接近,我们便可看出两者未必吻合,有时后相同,有时候不同。……说到这裡,必须解释,為什麼讨论各种爱,必须区分两种「接近」。约翰的名言:「神即是爱」,长久以来在我心中可用一位当代作家罗吉蒙特的话加以补足:「爱唯有不在妄想作神时才能免於沦為魔鬼」;换句话说:「爱一但被奉為神,当即成為魔鬼」。我认為,唯有加上这句话,才能免於误解。没有它,原本是真理的「神就是爱」,可能一不留神就变成相反的意思—「爱即是神」。
