How to Translate LOVE into a Song

[wenlove24]

---

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for what I have in mind but I just wanted to share my most favorite lyrics from several songs and if you try to check it, it's basically about the highest and the purest form of LOVE. Some of these maybe new to you so I've also posted a link so you'd be able to listen to them. Feel free to post any comments, suggestions or what-have-you's. Here it goes......

I first heard this song on EWTN's The Pure Life show and it took me three years to find the link to the actual song. I listened to the song and wrote down its lyrics 'coz it's not anywhere in the web. I hope it works. The song is rich and full of meaning and has a good tune to it too.

There is Life by Kelly Pease

I
Was I born just to die?
Was I given these gifts just to watch 'em pass by?
...And have I toiled in vain, nothin' but pain to show?
How long will Your face be hidden from me?
And how long will this biting wind last?

CHORUS
There is life on the other side for those who are brave enough
to walk through this valley wide
There is life, there is joy in Him who leads us through pain
for all those who come to the table to be sustained
There is joy, there is life here in my suffering.

II
Did my God come as a man just to bleed from His side and
His feet and His hands
Did He come to make new from old or is that just what I'm told
I know He came so that the world would believe
That He's alive living in you and me

(back to CHORUS)

There is life on the other side for those who are brave enough
to walk through this valley wide
There is life, there is life.

(back to CHORUS)

in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

what holds us to the ground is.....

Gravity - Shawn McDonald

The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It’s taking it's toll down on my soul
‘Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of You
Don't let me lose my sight

Chorus:
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground

This world keeps making me cry
But I'm going to try, going to try to fly, GOTTA FLY HIGH
Don't want to give into the sin, want to stay IN YOU ‘til the end
Don't want to lose my sight of You
Don't want to lose my sight

Chorus

I want to fly
Into the sky
Turn my back on this WHOLE world AND
Leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It's got nothing for me
Only leaves me with emptiness
And tears in my eyes

Chorus

Simply Nothing - Shawn McDonald

So hard to fathom the pain in Your eyes
As You're watching Your children, doing what You despise
In pursuit of our own
We just go round and round
Another nail to our cause
We continue to pound
What are you, man, if you do not learn love
What are you, man, if you do not learn love
So hard to fathom, oh, the feelings inside
As You're watching Your people choosing to die
You called out a warning
To all that would hear
Saying come to Me, come to Me
And I will draw near
Learn love
I must
Learn love
Learn love
Learn love
Learn love
Learn love

who wouldn't wanna be....

Picture Perfect - 10 years

In your eye's is the picture perfect.
In your eye's does the grass look greener.
Have you seen it though my eye's.

The world has caught on fire from what I have done.
These city lights are killing ever slowly.
The sanity with in me.
Maybe I lost in my creation.
This isn't how I thought I'd turn out.

In your eye's I'm picture perfect.
In your eye's the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eye's.
Cause through my eye's.

Stars are burning brighter.
So bright we can't ignore.
We're hypnotized by televised train wrecks tragedy's a paycheck.
Maybe I a product of my placement.
We're given no time to make up our minds.

In your eye's I'm picture perfect.
In your eye's the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eye's.
Cause through my eye's.

In your eye's I'm so picture perfect.
In your eye's the grass is greener.
Have you seen it though my eye's.
Through my eye's.
Through my eye's.
Through my eye's.

Pay attention please.
He who lusts through life for excess in this world.
Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul.
Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance.
You're full of pride.
And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life.

Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.

Walk the line and pay the price.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.

Fail to mention your intentions, fail to mention why.
The actions of your life contradict your words...
The path in which you walk is a vice of no remorse.
Washing conscience from the skin, claiming innocence.
Ignore the signs.

From cradle to grave, you chose to trade.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.

Pay attention please.
He who lusts through life for excess in this world.
Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul.
Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance.
You're full of pride.
And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life.

Smile and give a toast, brag and boast.
Fool the world with all of your lies.
The parasite's host never even knows.
Pull the wool over our eyes.

From cradle to grave, you chose to trade.
A pound of flesh for paradise.
Wear the wounds of your demise.

No matter what, I know He will always.........

TAKE YOU BACK -Jeremy Camp

The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Though my praise was few
When I fall and bring your name down

But I have found in you
A heart that pleads forgiveness
Replacing all these thoughts
Of painful memories
But I know
That your response will always be

[Chorus]
I'll take you back always
And even when your fight is over now
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back always
And even when the pain is coming through
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back

You satisfy this cry
Of what I'm looking for
And I take all I can
And lay it down
Before the throne of endless grace, now
That radiates what's true

I'm in the only place
That erases all these faults
That have overtaken me
But I know
That your response will always be

[Chorus]
I'll take you back always
And even when your fight is over now
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back always
And even when the pain is coming through
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back

[Bridge]
I can only speak
With a grateful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift
Of your love

I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough

[Chorus Two]
You'll take me back always
And even when my fight is over now
Even when my fight is over now
You'll take me back always
And even when my pain is coming through
Even when my pain is coming through
You'll take me back always

Even when my fight is over now
Even when my fight is over now

You'll take me back always

Even when my pain is coming through
Even when my pain is coming through

You'll take me back
