Can You Feel It?

It's like a narrative, struggling with the reality of God, but then seeing that He's not just an antiquated idea in a book, or a distant guy in the sky, but He is here, right now. The Savior has come, He is here, He is everywhere. I can't wrap my mind around it.


Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The love in this place
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The grace in this place
Can you feel it?
Yeah

Life makes it so hard sometimes
To know what's real
Life makes it so hard sometimes
To know what's real
Oh, this life makes it so hard sometimes
To know what's real
Oh, this life makes it so hard sometimes

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The love in this place
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The grace in this place
Can you feel it?

When I can't feel You there
When I can't see You there
When I can't comprehend that
You are there
You are there
You're everywhere
You are everywhere

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The hope in this place
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
The peace in this place
Can you feel it?
Yeah

When we can't feel You there
When we can't see You there
When we can't comprehend that
You are there
You are there
You're everywhere
You are everywhere

Our God is here
Our God is here
Our God is here
Our God is here

We believe You're here
We can feel You here
We can see You here
We believe You're here
You are here
You are here

[David Crowder]

After studying in depth for the past few months on the subject of love and God's perfect love and how we are called to love just as God loves....reading these lyrics just fill me with so much joy. I mean, as christians we are called to be like God, to be holy as God is holy, to love as God loves, and to reflect His love in our relationship with others. More than anything I long for the perfect love, and although we are not a "perfect" race, God has called us to strive for that perfection and that's what I long to do. I realize that these lyrics aren't anything more than just a few repeating lines to some of you, but if you can truly grasp the whole concept of God's grace and love then maybe you can appreciate this too. I love Crowder's lyrics. They are amazing. And this song, amazing. God's love, grace, peace...amazing.

It's far too much to fully comprehend. I want to love like this. I want people to wonder how I can love so peacefully and gracefully. I want to be all-understanding and all-loving. I want to love like God loves, just as He has called me to do. Oh, this life makes it so hard sometimes to know what's real. I want to be real, I want the love in my life to be real. You and I, real. [Even when you can't see me, even when you can't feel me..] I know that's hard sometimes to comprehend, but when I say "I love you" it's not just a feeling, it's a consious decision I make every day. God is teaching me everyday how to love you better, God is teaching me how to love you all better.

Can you feel it?
