Need Help For A Project. =)

[PinkCow]

Okay, So for my Religion project I have to find a song that has to do with LOVE.

I know that there are MILLIONS of songs about love out there, and I can't choose.

So, What are your favourite song's about love?

Maybe this will help me choose!

=)

Okay.. maybe not MILLIONS of love songs, but there are alot.

[skalenfehl]

Can you narrow it down? Are you looking for love as in love from the Lord (church songs) or love songs on the radio? Or it doesn't matter?

Jesus the very Thought of Thee

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills the breast;

But sweeter far Thy face to see,

And in Thy presence rest.

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,

Nor can the memory find

A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,

O Savior of mankind!

O hope of every contrite heart,

O joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind Thou art!

How good to those who seek!

But what to those who find? Ah, this

Nor tongue nor pen can show;

The love of Jesus, what it is,

None but His loved ones know.

Jesus, our only joy be Thou,

As Thou our prize will be;

Jesus be Thou our glory now,

And through eternity.

O Jesus, King most wonderful

Thou Conqueror renowned,

Thou sweetness most ineffable

In Whom all joys are found!

When once Thou visitest the heart,

Then truth begins to shine,

Then earthly vanities depart,

Then kindles love divine.

O Jesus, light of all below,

Thou fount of living fire,

Surpassing all the joys we know,

And all we can desire.

Jesus, may all confess Thy Name,

Thy wondrous love adore,

And, seeking Thee, themselves inflame

To seek Thee more and more.

Thee, Jesus, may our voices bless,

Thee may we love alone,

And ever in our lives express

The image of Thine own.

O Jesus, Thou the beauty art

Of angel worlds above;

Thy Name is music to the heart,

Inflaming it with love.

Celestial Sweetness unalloyed,

Who eat Thee hunger still;

Who drink of Thee still feel a void

Which only Thou canst fill.

O most sweet Jesus, hear the sighs

Which unto Thee we send;

To Thee our inmost spirit cries;

To Thee our prayers ascend.

Abide with us, and let Thy light

Shine, Lord, on every heart;

Dispel the darkness of our night;

And joy to all impart.

Jesus, our love and joy to Thee,

The virgin’s holy Son,

All might and praise and glory be,

While endless ages run.

Does it have to be a religious song, or can it be by U2? And does it have to mention the word "love" or can the overall theme be love?

not sure if this is exact but best i got off hand....

From God's Arms to My Arms to Yours

Michael McLean

With so many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure

If I can ever hope to trust my judgment anymore.

But lately I've been thinking, 'cause it's all I've had to do,

And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.

And maybe you can tell your baby

When you love him so, that he's been loved before

By someone who delivered your son

From God's arms to my arms to yours.

If you choose to tell him, or if he wants to know

How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go,

Just tell him there were sleepless nights

I prayed and paced the floors

And knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours.

And maybe you can tell your baby

When you love him so, that he was loved before

By someone who delivered your son

From God's arms to my arms to yours.

Now I know you don't have to do this,

But could you kiss him once for me

The first time that he ties his shoes or falls and skins his knee?

And could you hold him twice as long

When he makes his mistakes

And tell him that he's not alone-

Sometimes that's all it takes.

I know how much he'll ache.

Well, this may not be the answer

For another girl like me,

And I'm not on a soapbox saying how we all should be.

I'm just trusting in my feelings

And I'm trusting God above,

And I'm trusting you can give this baby

Both his mothers' love.

And maybe you can tell your baby

When you love him so, that he was loved before

By someone who delivered your precious one

From God's arms

To my arms

To yours.

Creed is a Christian band. Check out the lyrics for "With Arms Wide Open". Also check out the video (probably at youtube) -- a lot of Christian metaphore.

Creed is a Christian band.

Don't tell the band that.

[skalenfehl]

Here's my contribution to your project. One of my favorite songs, especially in difficult times:

Don't give up, You are Loved.

[Bethie]

My favorite hymn AND love song is "Be Thou My Vision"

Here is an excellent youtube version:

[PinkCow]

Thanks!

=)

I'm looking for songs off the radio, with the theme of love.

Thanks for the suggestions!

[Fiannan]

Don't tell the band that.

Well, not officially but...Scott Stapp, 08/04 - Interviews - Christian Music Today

[skalenfehl]

The band in general, not Scott. I have his CD, "The Great Divide". Great music! Thanks for the article, I've read it before.

It would have to be an '80's radio station, but occasionally I find myself humming Love Shack. "Glitter on the highways..."
