  • I don't know what to do with a love like that...I don't know how to be a love like that...

    It's possibly the most honest, relevant line in a song I've heard in, well, ever. I don't know what to do with a love like that.
    I really don't.
    I want so bad to believe in this love, but I'm also more afraid of it than I've ever been of anything. There's a world of difference between intellectual belief and this thing I'm facing down. It's raw, and emotional, and it's the kind of thing that will tear everything apart and rebuild it. Everything I 'know' would cease to exist. The 'truths' I've built my life on aren't true, and on some level I'm aware of that...but I haven't yet learned to throw open the doors to the dark cellars of my soul and let the light shine down. There's believing and there's believing.
    I want to believe, God.
    Help me believe.
    Oh, God, help me.

    And the problem is this
    We were bought with a kiss
    But the cheek still turned
    Even when it wasn’t hit

    And I don’t know
    What to do with a love like that
    And I don’t know
    How to be a love like that

    When all the love in the world
    Is right here among us
    And hatred too
    And so we must choose
    What our hands will do

    Where there is pain
    Let there be grace
    Where there is suffering
    Bring serenity
    For those afraid
    Help them be brave
    Where there is misery
    Bring expectancy
    And surely we can change
    Surely we can change
    Something

    And the problem it seems
    Is with you and me
    Not the Love who came
    To repair everything

    And I don’t know
    What to do with a love like that
    And I don’t know
    How to be a love like that

    When all the love in the world
    Is right here among us
    And hatred too
    And so we must choose
    What our hands will do

    Where there is pain
    Let us bring grace
    Where there is suffering
    Bring serenity
    For those afraid
    Let us be brave
    Where there is misery
    Let us bring them relief
    And surely we can change
    Surely we can change
    Oh surely we can change
    Something

    Oh, the world’s about to change
    The whole world’s about to change
