So, literally 5 minutes ago I wrote this song. I really just am speechless.
Most people are always saying they love God. I've always been one of those people.
But then some random preacher will come out of nowhere and say,
"That's all fine and dandy that you love God, and it's a good start.
But you have to FALL IN LOVE with God." A few months ago, I started thinking
about this. I thought I was in love with God. But think about it. We get all giddy,
sappy, and somewhat stupid when we like someone. Our thoughts surround this
person, you think your heart might burst, when you see them you get tingly and
feel like jumping up and down like a total idiot, you catch yourself doodling their
name, if you're like me you even write songs about them. Somehow, you're so amazed,
by a simple human being. And you get distracted by them. You'll get a text from them,
and stop whatever you're doing to check it. You'll fall out of your chair when they
comment one of your pictures giving you a compliment. And oh, if they dare to give
you a hug, you'll never forget that moment. You'll relive it a thousand times a
thousand, and it'll never get old. Why am I saying this?
Well you see, my point is this; We need to be this way about God.
A simple human being, getting all this glory, we should multiply it, and be that
way about God. Think of this, if you've ever been a giddy, sappy idiot over someone,
God created that person. God. Created. Them. And get this, that person will fail you.
Maybe not right now, maybe not tomorrow, but they will fail you and disappoint you
at some point in time. But God, the one who's always trying to get your attention,
who is constantly singing over you, who thinks you're absolutely amazing and says
so, who's presence is surrounding you like an invisible hug.. He will never fail you.
In thinking about this, over the past few months, I've started to understand it.
I've started to fall in love with God. I've gotten caught up in worship songs while
listening to my iPod, and people might look at me funny; but I don't care. I'm distracted
by the One I love. My first love, the one who I've built my life around, and someday
I'll be with Him. I don't care if people think I'm talking to myself when I'm praying in the
store, or while walking down the street, or if they realize I'm praying. I want to
talk to the One I love. About everything. Every single little thing, no matter how
simple or insignificant it may seem. He cares about it. Because He loves me.
More than my mere human mind can comprehend. And I just have to sing about it.
Because I'm in love. And my heart is filled to bursting, because it is truly the most
amazing feeling.
The Love Song by: Christina Shumard
The most deserving of everything I could be
The one who believes in me when I'm just hopelessly
Trying to live up to the expectations of everyone
Trying to keep the pace, when it's already done
You planned my destiny
Through my mistakes you see the best in me
So here I am, here I am
Before your throne I stand
Why you would choose to love me I'm not sure
But you're all I've ever wanted and so much more
You make my heart beat
You sweep me off my feet
You take me away
Into your everlasting peace
I don't know why it took me so long
You're all I've needed, this love is so strong
It's not much, but Jesus I'll sing You this love song
You've taken my mistakes Traded them in for a new day
To wake up to the glory of your face
You saved my life, when you took my place
You're always there, Your love casting out my fear
In your arms is where I belong
It's where I'll stay, singing Your love songs
So here I am, here I am
Before your throne I stand
Why you would choose to love me I'm not sure
But you're all I've ever wanted and so much more
You make my heart beat
You sweep me off my feet
You take me away
Into your everlasting peace
I don't know why it took me so long
You're all I've needed, this love is so strong
It's not much, but Jesus I'll sing You this love song
I will I will, sing to You
No matter what the world tries to do
You're always the one to bring me through
I'll hold on, hold on to what's true
And Lord, I'll always sing to You
