I love you more

Yesterday while on my home from work i was listening to the radio and a great song, that i've known for what seems like forever, came on. What shocked me most was the words that hit me this time. Each time i hear this song and sing along but sometimes gloss over the true meaning.

By Matthew West

Take a look at the mountain

stretching a mile high

take a look at the ocean

far as your eye can see

and think of me

Take a look at the desert

do you feel like a grain of sand

i am with you wherever

where you go is where i am

And I'm always thinking of you

take a look around you

i'm spelling it out one by one

Chorus:

I love you more than the sun

and the stars that i taught how to shine

you are mine and you shine for me too

i love you yesterday and today

and tomorrow i'll say it again and again

i love you more

Just a face in the city

just a tear in the crowded street

but you are one in a million

and you belong to me

And i want you to know

I'm not letting go

even when you come undone

Chorus:

I love you more than sun

and the stars that i taught how to shine

you are mine and you shine for me too

i love you yesterday and today

and tomorrow i'll say it again and again

i love you more

You shine for me

you shine for me

you shine on, you shine on

you shine for me

Chorus

I love you more than the sun

and the stars that i taught how to shine

you are mine and you shine for me too

i love you yesterday and today

through the joy and the pain

i'll say it again and again

i love you more, i love you more

And i see you and i made you

and i love you more than you can imagine

more than you can fathome

i love you more than the sun

and you shine for me

I am reminded that while God made all of creation, the heavens and the earth, he is most in love with us, sinful humans. He loves us more in our failings than he does the sun that never disappoints him, never lets him down. I am awed at how much our father loves us that he knows every tear we cry, no matter how small and insignificant we feel, like a grain of sand in the desert. I find it hard to believe that i am loved so much that God knows the numbers of hairs on my head. (Does that count the ones that fall off?!!). Be reminded today that no matter where you are, what you've done, or how you've failed, God loves you so much more than you can ever imagine.

Rest in God's love today.
