Better Love

Tonight JR did what he calls "the princess talk" for a bunch of girls at church, and it got me thinking just about how the world gives us so many false beliefs and ideas on what love is. So we search for all these things that are going to fill us, and we miss the greatest love there is, a love that makes it possible for us to even have love. All this reminded me of this song. My friend Jamie Bosanko actually wrote this song, but it's recorded by Drew Holcomb, and it's just about this "better love" that we can only get from a relationship with the Lord. It's about searching and not being satisfied with worldly love, and finding that there is this better love out there. It's a great song... here are the lyrics, but I really recommend that you download and listen to it.

"Better Love"

Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors

So stop me if you've heard this one before.

I'm walking out the door, I'm done.

Cause this counterfeit love that we've been served

is like a band-aid for cancer, it won't stop.

How long can we survive on chocolates and movie lines?

A better love, a better love I see.

A better love, a better love I see...

Stop telling me that everything is fine.

I see straight through the lies that we're told.

Cause the love we've seen is tired and abused;

it's made us all confuse dust for gold.

How long can we get by with breakups and sad headlines?

A better love, a better love I see.

A better love, a better love I see.

A better love, a better love I see...

And in the middle of the night,

I try and try to fight the taste of the world gone bitter.

But somewhere out in the streets,

there's a melody that speaks hope for something bigger.

So don't you try and talk me down this time.

There's something more to find out there.

A better love, a better love I see.

A better love, a better love I see.

A better love, a better love I see...
