People of Love, Rise...

Slow down, be still
Let go, we will
Be here, be now
Slow down, be still
Let go, refill
Be here, be now

If you choose to love
To know that the call
Is to give all you are,
To give love away, away
Rise, rise, People of love rise
People of love rise
Give yourself away
Rise, rise, people of love rise
People of love rise
Give yourself away
Give yourself away, give yourself
away

We're not safe, we're not safe
But we will rise, rise
People of love rise
People of love rise
Give yourself away
(Rise, by Robbie Seay Band)

This song is amazing. The way its worded is great, and it is so clear and convicting. First of all, I love how it says "slow down, be still". I know, you hear that all the time. Yes, its true in a physical sense- life can get too crazy at times. I'm one to talk. But I also see this as speaking in a spiritual sense.
Stop overthinking things. Live every moment for Christ, taking it one day at a time. You know?

I also love the phrase "People of Love". It's crazy how many places, people, things, or ideas we find our identity in these days. How we look. Where we live. Who we hang around with. What we do. It's sad that these things are what we use to form our own view of ourselves. If you are a Christ follower, Christ wants to become your identity. He doesn't want to take a backseat to worldly things. Christ is love. We should strive to be people of Love.

Give yourself away. Trade your old self in for Christ's grace and unending, unimaginable love. Share this love with anyone and everyone around you, past the point of what's expected. After all, we are Christ's.

love..
