Love Through Me

I stumbled over this lovely couple's music due to my adorable sister Emily.  They are Jenny & Tyler and not only are they adorable and their music charming, their mission is also right on:  to show Christ's love through their talents and musical gifts.  This song, "Love Through Me" and it's lyrics penetrated my heart, in this midst of my current season of blessing.  I hope it convicts you as well, to live with Christ central and to remember what this life should really be about. Not money or things or status, but that our minds and hearts have a continual  eternal perspective.  Listen here. Download their EP album for free just by joining their mailing list here.

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i've never gone a day without a meal because i couldn't afford it
stood on a corner and begged for pennies, holding out a sign
call me blessed, but it sure does feel pathetic,
children ‘round the world are hungry now

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a boy could rest his tired bones?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to watch his children grow?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i feel in the right, self-justified giving coins away
but what about the time i consider mine not tomorrow but right now today?
clothe the naked; feed the hungry; welcome strangers
come on, get up and open your eyes

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a girl could have some more to eat?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to hear about the King?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

help us see, our eyes are weak, help us please
love through me
