Hello! Sending my warm greetings to everyone from the Philippines. I'm glad another exciting theme is announced for this week's song entries. And it's my pleasure to join in again with my covered entry song entitled "I SEE LOVE" by Steven Curtis Chapman.
This song was popularized as one of the soundtrack played in 2004 movie "THE PASSION OF CHRIST"
"A SUMMARY: PASSION OF THE CHRIST"
The Passion of Christ is the story of Jesus Christ's arrest, trial and suffering. It ends with his execution by crucifixion. The Passion is an episode in a longer story and cannot be properly understood without the story of the Resurrection.
The word Passion comes from the Latin word for suffering.
The crucifixion of Jesus is accepted by many scholars as an actual historical event. It is recorded in the writings of Paul, the Gospels, Josephus, and the Roman historian Tacitus. Scholars differ about the historical accuracy of the details, the context and the meaning of the event.
Most versions of the Passion begin with the events in the Garden of Gethsemane. Some also include the Last Supper, while some writers begin the story as early as Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem to the applause of the crowds.
The Passion is a story about injustice, doubt, fear, pain and, ultimately, degrading death. It tells how God experienced these things in the same way as ordinary human beings.
The most iconic image of the Passion is the crucifix - Christ in his last agony on the cross - found in statues and paintings, in glass, stone and wooden images in churches, and in jewellery.
The Passion appears in many forms of art. It is set to music, used as a drama and is the subject of innumerable paintings.
Spiritually, the Passion is the perfect example of suffering, which is one of the pervasive themes of the Christian religion.
Suffering is not the only theme of the Passion, although some Christians believe that Christ's suffering and the wounds that he suffered play a great part in redeeming humanity from sin.
Another theme is incarnation - the death of Jesus shows humanity that God had become truly human and that he was willing to undergo every human suffering, right up to the final agony of death. Another is obedience - despite initial, and very human, reluctance and fear, Jesus demonstrates his total acquiescence to God's wishes.
But the final theme is victory - the victory of Christ over death - and this is why the Passion story is inseparable from the story of the Resurrection.
"I SEE LOVE"
V1
Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams
CHORUS
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I see God's face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see You
I see love
V2
Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Through Your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in Your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour
ENDING
When I see You
When I see You
When I see You
I see love
I see love
When I see
Some see Him walking from an empty grave

AS I MEDITATE...
When you see life from a desirable state to becoming miserable, when you see you're on top, unfortunately dipping low, and when you see its labor isn't rewarding anymore, look what Jesus has suffered. He's turtored as the worst criminal had in His time, for us to be saved from eternal condemnation. AND YET GOD SAW LOVE for every one who cried out for his death.
Let God's perspective be ours too, to enable us TO SEE His manifold goodness in every tough road that we take. Remember, a LOVE that is pure and divine, is nailed in an old rugged cross. In this sense, it takes a spiritual eye to understand His heart, for each man, and be in unity with Christ's vision; to heal, protect, and save. That is unthinkable love. We may not fully comprehend its meaning at first but you'll understand why soon.
Wherefore keep your eyes open to spiritual entities to shut the world's blindness. If the world cannot see God in the midst of their difficulties, be an eye opener for them. Teach His Words, for them to see healing in sickness, to witness profound miracles in the impossibilities, and to top it all,to experience the transformative power of God's Spirit into their lives.
In my life, I'm gonna see a victory☺️😇 because I can clearly see His love so unconditional for me!
Thank you Vibes community and friends for your time. And that would complete this covered song of mine. SEE YOU around and God bless you.
