Here's to the Lover of My Soul

There are so many questions and debates that fly around in Christian circles. Two respectable teachers in church can give us totally contradictory answers. And then there are always so many personal questions we may have about why God does things in the way that he does them in regard to our own lives. We sometimes think we heard God directing us only to be puzzled when things go down in a totally different direction causing us to question if it was God or not. There are even plenty of questions we may have about why we do things the way that we do, when we start to examine our own actions. Life is hard sometimes and the right ways that we should respond in any given situation do not always seem so clear to us. Sometimes it can seem frustrating that when we go looking for an answer we get more questions!! It is nice to have a constant: One thing that we can know for sure.

For me that one thing that I know is that Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me, the bible tells me soooooooooooooooo. I loved that kids Sunday school song. But it's so true. I've come to see better that the His love is better then life! Without Him I have nothing. Anything this world has to offer is bleak and yucky in contrast to His amazing love. It keeps me from free falling. It is that one thing I can raise a toast to and say THANK YOU JESUS!!!

I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught,
I dunno why I was born into the family I've got,
I dunno if I ever had an original thought,
maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend,
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed send,
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it's all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I aint got nothing at all

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos & harps? Do we sleep? Do we fly?
I dunno how, when and why this world will finally end,
Speculation's gonna grow, who knows best, I dunno
I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve,
I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe,
I dunno when it's a ministry and when it's a show
maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your touch I'm not a full human being
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
If I should ever leave, where would I go?
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I look to you cause you're the lover of my soul

HERE'S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL!
~HERE'S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL!!

I dunno when to walk away
or stand and fight
just when I've got it wrong,
I'm sure I heard you right
and when my arguments
are water tight
you expose every hole
with a flash and a flood
and I know
I hear you call in the eye of the storm
and I know
you've had my back since the day I was born
still stoking my heart, still stirring my head
you're my pillar of fire,
you're the wine, you're the bread, and

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it's all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I've got nothing at all

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught,
I dunno why I was born into the family I've got,
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno if I ever had an original thought,
maybe not, maybe so, maybe soon, maybe later, I dunno
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno when I've got it right or wrong,
I dunno how I can wrap it in a four minute song, but I know
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
My grip is better when I'm not hanging on,
your love is making us strong (all along)
Your love is better than life
