Away from the commercialized holiday and the materialistic views of America, I was able to spend Valentine's Day thinking about one thing: worthy is the Lamb. It was the main theme at the local church I went to this morning and, as we finished the service in worship,there was a line in a song that touched my heart. "you took the fall and thought of me above all". Why he thought of me above everything else and why he took the fall that I should have taken I will never know. This Valentine's Day I'm joyful because I'm in a whole different world here in South Africa, at least that's what it feels like sometimes, and I'm so far away from everyone I love, but I have Jesus right beside me.
Love that knows no bounds and surpasses all understanding,
Fills the earth with beauty.
For our human justice never grants the wish of a second chance,
Our mercy never reaches past our desire and our lust for more.
Love, that flies so freely and touches everything in its path,
Doesn’t look for answers or try to find an explanation.
It's an undeserving sacrifice that forever holds its place
As the only thing that makes sense in a world of senseless deeds.
There's a celebration of a long-past occurrence
That resonates through our beings
And forever reminds us of the love
That makes no man lose hope.
