"The world's shaking with the love of God."
-Delirious?, "My Glorious"

"To the cross I look,
And to the cross I cling,
Of suffering I do drink,
Of it's work I do sing.
Only my Savior,
Both bruised and crushed,
Showed that God is love,
And God is just.
At the cross,
You beckon me.
Draw me gently to my knees,
And I am lost for words so lost in love.
I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered."
-Jeremy Riddle, "Sweetly Broken"

(Psalm 18) Now that is a love worth celebrating!"

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing."
