11. "How He Loves" - David Crowder*Band
Sparrow Records/sixstepsrecords
From the song ...
He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
The David Crowder*Band is a perfect way to end the playlist and enter the school (or work) day because it tells us the biggest truth we can hear ... Jesus loves us!
12. "Learn To Love" - Leeland
Essential
From the song ...
Pray for each other
Stand in together
We'll see his kingdom come
Shinning like the sun
Something is stirring
A new day is calling
Jesus Is the king
We lift our voice and sing
Leeland's "Learn To Love" tells us that we're all in this thing called life together. Instead of building little fiefdom's (think high school or office clicques and/or socio-economic groups that never cross into each other's camps), we should come together to build a kingdom. In a "me, me, me" world, we need an "us" revolution!
13. "Some Kind Of Love" - Phil Stacey
Reunion
From the song ...
What kind of love goes into the darkness
And pulls you back when you’re on the edge
What kind of love finds you when you’re hopeless
And gives you another second chance
Starting off with the pop/soft rock "Some Kind Of Love" reminds us that today is the first day of our second (or 7000th) chance. What a great way to start the day!
14. "More Like Falling In Love" - Jason Gray
Centricity Music
From the song ...
It ought to be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
Jason Gray describes perfectly what being a Christian should be like. It shouldn't be about religion and a list of rules; instead it should be about a relationship and love.
15. "Love Is Here" - Tenth Avenue North
Integrity
From the song ...
Love is here
Love is now
Love is pouring from his hands, from his brows
Love is near, it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from his side, yeah
Spending eternity in Heaven with Jesus is going to be an amazing, wonderful, beautiful thing but the beauty of Christ's love for us is that we don't have to wait until we get there to experience it. As Tenth Avenue North so aptly puts it, love is here and love is now.
