Love, Be Not Still

I originally started writing this song in Northern Ireland when I took a little time for some reflection and walked to the shore on this beautiful spot. It was so bright and sunny with a gentle breeze. During the trip I was just thinking about love and where it comes from to where it goes. How amazing is it that there is a God who pours out a love that flows into us? But that's not where it ends! His love comes into us that we can share it and spread it. Let HIS love fill me up so much that it comes pouring out of me! I just envision this waterfall/rapids/river/whirlpool of love raining down that doesn't know how to sit still but shoots out to everything nearby that receives it. Don't let your love be still! I want to be a kitchen strainer that rests underneath the endlessly pouring fountain and doesn't hold it but lets it come out in all directions. I'm probably mixing the metaphor somehow now but it's something that I've been thinking a lot about lately. AND IT'S SO EXCITING!!! The love that comes from HIM! We have access to it and we can share it! How beautiful a relationship is that??


Love, Be Not Still

Love, be not still
Let the cup be over filled
Spread oh fire, so wild
Love, be not still

Singing, Grace, come fill the skies
Oh what mercy beheld by these eyes
Where death finds its demise
Grace, come fill the skies

Life, with endless days
is the blood within these veins
I was once dead until
Life, with endless days

Oh death, where's your sting?
When the trumpet voices sing
Arms up in victory
Death, where's your sting?

And Love, be not still
Let it carry you up the hill
Not by my strength but His
Love, be not still

I got the idea for this song.
