Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...


I heard this song in the morning on the way to office, sung by Mariah Carey. It's quite nice cover version I would say, and looks like a few of my friends have favourited this song.

What got me thinking when the Mariah was singing the chorus (I wanna know what love is..) is, God is love. His love for us is unconditional.

Would it be different if everyone starts loving each other the way Jesus thought us?

Third Day - Show Me Your Glory

I caught a glimpse of Your splendor
In the corner of my eye
The most beautiful thing I’ve even seen
And it was like a flash of lightning
Reflected off the sky
And I know I’ll never be the same

Show me Your glory
Send down Your presence
I want to see Your face
Show me Your glory
Majesty shines about You
I can’t go on without You, Lord

When I climb down the mountain
And get back to my life
I won’t settle for ordinary things
I’m gonna follow You forever
For all of my days
I won’t rest ‘till I see You again

Show me Your glory
Show me Your glory
I can’t live without You


Pastor preached from Exodus 33, whereby Moses asked the Lord to show him His glory. I kept thinking of this song as Pastor preached.

18 Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."

19 And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20 But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."

21 Then the LORD said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen."

Our God is so holy that we all sinners will not be able to stay alive if we see His face. But still, He loved us and never stop showing His glory. Sometimes we like to take things in our own hands and do not allow God to show us what He can do for us when we ask.

I have learnt that sometimes when we are faced with difficult situation that we think that is impossible to handle, just ask and wait on Jesus. I have learnt that sometimes we need to do nothing and just let God take control and things will happen in His time. We may be impatient and still want to do something about it because we do not see any thing taking place and we thought that God is not going help us.

Now I have learnt to let go, just trust and relax (how on earth can we do that??!!). That really works for me because I know my God is powerful and I've let His glory be shown to me and that will be my great testimony to share to others so that others can also see how glorious my God is!

Behind the Song:
“Max Lucado likes to say that when we are asking for God’s glory, you are asking for more of God Himself. What a powerful prayer! If we all continue to seek for God to reveal Himself to us, we would surely, like Moses in this song, never be the same.” – Mark Lee (Third Day)

Mark Schultz - I Am

I am the maker of the heavens
I am the bright and morning star
I am the breath of all creation
Who always was
And is to come

I am the one who walked on water
I am the one who calmed the seas
I am the miracles and wonders
So come and see
And follow me
You will know

Chorus:
I am the fount of living water
The risen son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am

I am the spirit deep inside you
I am the word upon your heart
I am the one who even knew you
Before your birth
Before you were

Chorus

Bridge:
Before the earth (I am)
The universe (I am)
In every heart (I am)
Oh, where you are (I am)
The lord of love (I am)
The king of kings (I am)
The holy lamb (I am)
Above all things

Chorus

Yes, I am almighty god your father
The risen son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am


Mark Schultz is one talented singer and songwriter. I just love the lyrics of his songs, and also the melody and how he delivers them. I have to admit that this song, when I first hear it, was not my favourite song. In fact, in some point of time, when the radio is playing this song I was hoping that the next song comes faster.

But there was one day when I was working and this song was playing, I unconsciously listened to the lyrics of the song (although this was not my favourite song previously, I still know the lyrics) and it was quite an experience! I was reminded again that Jesus is the maker of the heaven, the one who walked on water, the risen son of man, the healer of the broken, the beginning and the end.

I felt like Jesus was telling me more about Himself to me through that song, although I have known all that from the Bible. It's so personal. I worshipped Him at that moment, acknowledging that He is who He claims to be. He is my God, my Father, my everything!
