about

"Anthem of Love" is my attempt of painting a picture of Christ's suffering and my personal reflection upon it. The verses are a plead to God from a lost individual while the choruses are from the perspective of a primary source describing the life, suffering, and death of Christ by referring to him as "a man who came and stood/trudged/died on a hill." It is a song of suffering and beauty and the ultimate display of love from our incredible God. In short, the death and resurrection of Christ resonate forever in the hearts of believers as an anthem of love and a testament of our God's love for us.

lyrics

Hold me, Father be near
Find me, I am not here- no I'm lost
No I'm lost
O my selfish desires,
Burn me up in your fire- oh I'm lost
Oh I'm lost

But a man came and stood on a hill
And we watched him but he was so still
Oh a mystery so clear
As we waited to hear- the Anthem of Love

Give me rest O my soul,
This life I can't control- oh I'm lost
Green noise, silently loud
Pull me out of this crowd, oh I'm lost

But a man came and trudged up a hill
And we watched him as he stopped to kneel
Oh his scarred face was so near
As we waited to hear- the Anthem of Love

But a man came and died on a hill
And the Earth shook, oh the sight was surreal
And I found myself in tears, as we waited to hear-
the Anthem of Love

Omnis spiritus laudate dominum
(let everything that has breath praise the Lord)
