This is Love

Lyrics from a faithful friend, Steve Bell. Words that speak what I have not yet put to words.

Father just before the hour comes
That was set aside to glorify your Son
With a glory from before the world began
With a glory given to no other man.

Protect the ones You've given me to love
I so desire that none of them be lost
They've yet to understand the mystery
Why the Son of God would wash another's feet

My prayer is not for only these alone
But for those who follow after I'm gone
May they understand the love You have for me
As the kind of love that changes everything

They'll argue who will sit next to the throne
And I cringe to hear them say Thy Kingdom come
They think they know what they're getting into
We both know they haven't got a clue.

Here's something that they won't like
Someone's coming to take the life
No one has to look farther than me

Some will trust in the things they think they know
they should think again and let them go
Put away the sword and get behind
And let me die

Cause this is not the same
It's a different thing
All together
This is not the same
It's a better thing
All together
This is love

This is love
- Steve Bell, This is Love
