Story behind the song
I wanted to express my feelings during some discussions I was having with non-Christian friends...trying to express the unexpressable. That Christianity isn't a club, it's not a manipulative "program". It's About...Well...listen to the tune! ;)
Lyrics
It’s Aboutcc© 2001 Andrew WiestccVerse 1ccccOnce there was a man,ccWho walked upon the sand,ccOf this lonely place.ccccA gentle man of hope,ccA fiery man who spoke,ccWith amazing grace.ccccWill you feed my sheep?ccWill you join the meek?ccWere things He’d say.ccccWill you bear My cross?ccWill you seek the lost?ccHelp them find their way.ccccChorusccccIt’s About Faith, Hope and Love,ccIt’s About Trust in God above,ccIt’s About giving love away,ccEach and every dayccIt’s About searching for the Truth,ccIt’s About finding life anew,ccIt’s About learning to live,ccLearning to forgiveccccVerse 2ccccThey hung Him from the tree,ccI know He died for me,ccIt’s a pain I bear.ccccAnd on that Easter day,ccHe rose up from the grave,ccThe tomb is empty there.ccccBut I can feel the weight,ccof two thousand years of hate,ccSo many curse His name. ccccAn anger born of fear,ccOf a holy God so near,ccWe can’t hide our shame.ccccccChorusccccDo you see the light?ccThat’s shining thru the night,ccOf this darkened world.ccA candle burning bright,ccHe gives the blinded sight,ccTo see His love unfurled.ccccDo we hear the call?ccSpoken since the fall?ccSimply trust and obey.ccccHe waits upon our choice,ccHe longs to hear our voice,ccWill we go His way?ccccccChorus cc cc(©(C) 2001 Andrew Wiest)
