These are the lyrics from the song...by Jason Gray:

 

Give me rules I will break them

Give me lines I will cross them

I need more than a truth to believe

I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes To sweep me off my feet It ought to be

 

More like falling in love than something to believe in

More like losing my heart than giving my allegiance

Caught up, called out

Come take a look at me now

It's like I'm falling, oh

It's like I'm falling in love

 

Give me words I'll misuse them

Obligations, I'll misplace them

'Cause all religion ever made of me

Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet it never set me free It's gotta be

 

This past Sunday at the Missions Conference, there was a presentation of several great missionaries and ministers from throughout the Church Age. From Luther to Graham, Aylward to Elliot, Spurgeon to Sunday....and I was thinking about the one reoccuring quality that each of them seemed to posess; they key ingredient that made them 'World-Shapers' and it was this - a satisfaction found in a relationship with Christ. Simply put, they were in love!  Head over heals!

 

As Jason Gray puts it, they posessed a truth that lives, moves and sweeps us off our feet.
There are a number of issues that keep us from finding this kind of adventurous, radical love: Pride, insecurity, distraction, independance...yet all of them are swept away when I realize how loved I am, and the price God paid to prove that love.
