Welcome to our 263rd week of talent display in this incredible music community.
This week, our theme is one that speaks to the soul: "Ray of Light." In a world so often shadowed by uncertainty and hardship, we find ourselves searching for that spark — the glimpse of light that brings hope, comfort, and direction. It’s in this spirit that I'll reflect on a song that has touched countless hearts: "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury.
More than just a melody, "Reckless Love" is a powerful declaration of God’s relentless and unwavering love. Its lyrics speak to a love that chases after us, no matter how lost we may feel — a love that doesn’t wait for us to be perfect, but finds us right where we are. In our darkest moments, this love becomes our ray of light, guiding us through the night.
As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re reminded of the ultimate display of that divine love — Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection. Through His death, the darkness was shattered. Through His rising, light broke into the world. Easter reminds us that we are not forgotten or forsaken. We are pursued. We are cherished.
"Reckless Love" echoes the very heart of Easter — a love that defies logic, overcomes barriers, and reaches us no matter how far we've run. It tells the story of a love that doesn't just wait patiently, but boldly comes after us, lighting the way with every step we take.
This Easter, let’s celebrate not just an event in history, but a living, breathing relationship with the One who is still chasing after our hearts today. His love is not passive — it's passionate. It's personal. And it’s powerful enough to shine through even the darkest night.
[Lyrics](
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
[Bridge]
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after
