New Love

YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM
V1
THAT SPARKLE IN YOUR EYE AND THAT SMILE ON YOU FACE
JOY DOWN IN YOUR HEART AND I WONDER WHAT TOOK PLACE
GOT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP AND A SONG IS ON YOUR LIPS
NOW YOU’RE ACTING LIKE ALL HEAVEN IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM, YOU HAVE THE SYMPTOMS OF
SOMEONE WHO FELL IN LOVE, YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM
C
LIKE THE LEPER AND THE LAME, LIFE CHANGED THE DAY HE CAME
LIKE THE THOUSANDS THAT WERE FED, THE DAY THE COUPLE THAT WERE WED
LIKE THE WOMAN AT THE WELL, HIS FRIEND THAT DIED TO LIVE TO TELL
YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM
IT’S ONE MORE DAMASCUS FALL, SAUL BECOMING PAUL
YEAH, THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL, YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM
V2
THEY SAID IF YOU HAD CHANGED THAT TIME WOULD PULL YOU BACK
YOU’VE BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE SO IT WON’T REALLY LAST
BUT LATELY THEY HAVE SEEN PREDICTIONS THOUGHT TO DIE
THIS TIME YOUR BRAND NEW LOVE CAUGHT MORE THAN JUST YOUR EYE
YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM, YOUR STEPS WERE CLEAR TO TRACE
YOU LOOK FOR AMAZING GRACE, YOU MUST HAVE MET HIM
BR
YOU BECOME A STRANGER WHEN WHAT HAPPENED ISN’T BAD
WE WOULDN’T TRADE THE NEW YOU FOR THE OLD YOU THAT WE HAD

 

 

When I first heard this song, I thought, "That's odd.  It sounds like a love song for a wedding."    As I listened on, I realized it kinda was.  It's not really the way I would describe my love for Jesus, but the concept intrigues me.  Of all people, I am not all that lovey-dovey.  I like my space, but don't mind hugs once in a while. But I like the idea of falling in love with Christ.  How people see that difference in you.  How you just sparkle and glow.  Was it like that for you?

 

The first time you realize that you need Christ in your life, and you just accept the fact that no matter what, he loves you with all his heart, you do feel like you are in love.  Your steps are lighter, your smile is brighter and you just know.  You know that you are loved and you love him back.  You know that the trust is there and you will do everything in your power to do your part. It's like with your husband/wife.  When you realize you love this person and want to spend time with them and want to take care of them.  It is all new and exciting.  

 

This song is by Brian Free and Assurance.  It is another on the cd , Top Ten Southern Gospel Songs of 2010,  I have and of all the songs I have heard, this one was the most surprising.  At first I thought it was a little silly, but now that I have heard it several times, I really like it.  

John 3:16:17  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him will not perish, but have eternal life.  For God sent his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
