love is in the air tonight

for those who are engaged — or wishing they were

i scroll & i scroll, i see engagement rings

and i find it so exciting

that love is in the air

individuals have found the one they can hold near 

and extend their care 

discoverin' a love like no other

sacrificing all of them for the sake of another

anyone can be engaged

anyone can flash the ring

what gets me most excited is seeing couples come together submitted to my king 

i pray for an overflow from their savior to their souls 

that the love they hold for you Jesus would be oh, so, close

that you'd be the anchor when life has taken it's toll

life feels like it's comin' together for them, i'm sure 

i pray that when life tries to tear them apart that they'd cling to You, the Everlasting, Faithful God

Be the anchor in the storm that keeps them steady

Be the faith they need to grow and become better than they are at the start

Be the One who guards their heart

and keeps them close even when they're at odds 

let their lives be filled with romance, love, and all good things

help them be honest when all they see are hard things

help them not take their anger out on each other

and if they do, God, make them even closer lovers 

let compassion, unity, and empathy rise

where bitterness, anger & rage may like to take a seat

teach them how to maintain their peace 

obey your ways 

and laugh more than they can even contain 

love is in the air 

so do not despair 

all you ones out there

without a hand to hold close

take your Fathers love tonight

let it be what holds you tight 

let it be what satisfies

because you have all you need

let the tears fall when it feels like you don't 

and fall into His love all over again 

love is in the air and its been there ever since 

my love hung

my Savior bled in innocence

where i was guilty

love stung

Jesus hung

took it all 

love is in the air

so have you met the One who showed us the greatest love of all?

despair filled his soul, even to death

he begged for the cup to be taken from him 

yet submitted His will over to the Father's

love hung in the air that day 

and 3 days later would rise from the grave 

so, rise again my child, i sense Jesus would say

your love will come one day

but for now, can you settle yourself in my ways? 

your miracle is on the way

but can you see the miracle in front of you today? 

Jesus, Jesus - my love who hung

You are the miracle today. 

You are the One I fix my eyes on. 

You are the One I pour my love upon.

You are the One who makes me capable of love.

love is in the air tonight

and for the first time in a long time

i remember all over again.

your eyes are on mine.

your provision is right on time.

so i pray & i pray & i pray 

with a penetrating & painstakingly ache 

that I will forever be fulfilled by the only innocent man to hang for me

his love on full display 

the kind of love that knows no decay 

but only knows how to rise from the grave


”I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-7
