Can we payback more than can be measured?
If we could love
There is an amount of love
An amount of grace
Beyond all meaning
Beyond all measure
If we could even grasp it
There would be more pleasure
There is no greater love than
laying your life down for a friend
If we loved God to a teaspoon
of his overflowing cup
What would this world then see?
Our land of sorrow and turmoil
would swirl to a community of joy
Open our eyes to glisten
Open our hearts to receive
Open our mouths to smile
This is a love that none can fathom
How can we repay
Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength

    My Opinion

    First off I want to say I absolutely love there new singer and their new album is spectacular totally exceeded my expectations.

    When I listen to this song a few things come to mind; I think of how I put to many vanity things before god and loving him and for some reason it just makes me feel happy to be alive It just makes me think no matter how many cheating boyfriends I have or how many bad grades I get everything will be okay because I have god and love. Its just a reminder to, Love the Lord with;

    All your soul All your mind All your strength

    AMAZING!! love the lyrics, although the video doesnt relate to the song, if it does someone please explain it. Most i got out of it was he found the strength from God not to hit the kid that his girlfriend was cheating on him with.

    "There is no greater love than lying you life down for a friend"

    Powerful stuff

    Powerful lyrics, though in the video - this may only be me - it's a little hard to understand compared to other hxc/metalcore bands.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
