Teach me to love

Ok, this one's for Becky. We were talking yesterday about how the church needs a wake up call, how it needs less of the talking and more of the doing. Then this song popped into my head.

I can sing with tongues of angels,
But if my life shows no love, What have I?
I can understand your greatness,
But if my life shows no love, What have I?
Teach me to love, teach me to love like Jesus loved.

I can prophesy to nations,
But if my life shows no love, What have I?
I can heal the sick and wounded,
But if my life shows no love, What have I?
Teach me to love, teach me to love like Jesus loved.

Open my eyes, to see what you see,
Open my mind, to be all that I can be,
Take my life, and do what you will,
Teach me to love, like Jesus loved.

David Gate

And it just occurred to me, whilst typing these up here, that it's based on 1 Corinthians 13! Mmmm. I love that song! I think it's great and it's my prayer for the church.

Aside from that, baby Powley; Zachariah was born this morning! Praise God! That's SO exciting!

hum i really like that song becca (well the lyrics anyways)... definite good stuff. the "open my eyes to see what you see" part... mm so true. if we saw what he saw, i have a feeling we'd do what he did... which is a heck of alot different than what we do right now. hum. thanks though, i just gotta find somewhere to listen now...
