Lyrics for the Resurrection Season

I've just found a gem, an older one, from Jars of Clay - "Show You Love." I've listened to these guys forever, or it seems like forever...showing my age (and theirs...lol). Take a look at the love, sacrifice, and joy captured in this song. What a gift God gave us in His Son. What a way to show us love...I'm in awe. It's a great reminder this Easter/Resurrection season, and I just HAD to share it with you. Think John 3:16...this song illuminates that Truth in a new way for me. Just when I think I'm speechless to discuss His Love for us, God gives me someone else's words to remember. His Word is best, but He chooses to speak in a million different ways-"all is full of love...it's all around (me)" ("All is Full of Love," Bjork).

I hope He opens your heart to "show you love," today!

Happy Resurrection Season!



"Show You Love"
by: Jars of Clay


Speak - and say the words that no one else will ever say

Love - love like the world we know is over in a day


I'm gonna show you love in every language

I'm gonna speak with words that need no form

I'm gonna give you what you never had before


You're beautiful and I am weakened by the force of your eyes

So shine bright to separate the truth from the lies

I'm gonna show you love


I'm gonna show you love in every language

I'm gonna speak with words that need no form

I'm gonna give you what you never had before


So tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect

No, I won't regret to let love do what love will let

We can drown in mixed emotions or walk across an angry sea

This is the cost of being free


I'm gonna show you love in every language

I'm gonna speak with words that need no form

I'm gonna give you what you never had before


"If the Son has set (me) free, I am free, indeed!"
