You go out of your way to make me feel like I'm the one You love
You take on a different shape every time I see You in someone
It's in the heart of the neighbor on the corner, in the spirit of a little girl's eyes
In the hello from a stranger at the grocer, in the people passin' by
There's a joy I feel when You reveal, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
How colorful the many ways You meet us (Ah-ah-ah)
Can't believe the places that we see Ya (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
All your revelations are so genius (Ah-ah-ah)
Kaleidoscope Jesus, Kaleidoscope Jesus
Just when I think I know You well, You show me that You are unpredictable
A thousand stories I could tell of how Your love is not so typical
You're with the sinners hangin' out on the fringes (Fringes) instead of stayin' safe inside
You're not afraid to be stayin' in the trenches (Trenches) to save a lonely life
There's a joy I feel when You reveal, oh-oh-oh oh-oh
How colorful the many ways You meet us (Ah-ah-ah)
Can't believe the places that we see Ya (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
All your revelations are so genius (Ah-ah-ah)
Kaleidoscope Jesus, Kaleidoscope Jesus
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Mercies always new with the mornin' light
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Nothin' You won't do to show that You are kind
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Birds begin to sing and flowers start to bloom
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) For all the world to see, see it all from You
How colorful the many ways You meet us (Ah-ah-ah)
Can't believe the places that we see Ya (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
All your revelations are so genius (Ah-ah-ah)
Kaleidoscope Jesus, Kaleidoscope Jesus
How colorful the many ways You meet us (Ah-ah-ah)
Can't believe the places that we see Ya (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
All your revelations are so genius (Ah-ah-ah)
Kaleidoscope Jesus, Kaleidoscope Jesus
"Kaleidoscope Jesus" by Lauren Daigle is a beautiful and captivating song that explores the multifaceted nature of Jesus and His love for us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how Jesus reveals Himself to us in a variety of ways, just like the ever-changing patterns in a kaleidoscope.
The song starts with the acknowledgment that Jesus goes out of His way to make us feel loved and cherished. It's a comforting reminder that we are the focus of His affection and that He takes on different forms to meet us where we are. This echoes the scripture verse in Romans 5:8, which says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus' love is not based on our performance or worthiness but on His unconditional grace and mercy.
Throughout the song, Daigle emphasizes the unexpected and unpredictable nature of Jesus. She sings about how He reveals Himself in the hearts of our neighbors, in the innocence of a little girl's eyes, and even in the greetings of strangers at the grocery store. This reminds us that Jesus is not confined to religious spaces or predictable encounters. He is constantly working in and through the people and situations around us, surprising us with His presence and love.
The song talks about the joy we feel when Jesus reveals Himself to us. This joy comes from recognizing and experiencing the vibrant and diverse ways in which Jesus meets us. It's a joy that can only come from a deep relationship with Him. This echoes the verse in Psalm 16:11, which says, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." When we truly know Jesus, we experience a joy that surpasses all understanding.
Daigle also sings about Jesus' willingness to be with sinners and to step out of comfort zones to save lonely lives. This echoes Jesus' own ministry, as He spent time with tax collectors, prostitutes, and other societal outcasts. In Luke 19:10, Jesus says, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." This verse reminds us that Jesus is not afraid to enter the messiness and brokenness of our lives. He is a Savior who goes to great lengths to bring healing and redemption to those who need it most.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "How colorful the many ways You meet us," emphasizing the richness and diversity of Jesus' love. It's a reminder that His love knows no bounds and that He meets us in unique and personal ways. This echoes the verse in Ephesians 3:17-19, which says, "And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge." Jesus' love is beyond our comprehension, yet He reveals it to us in ways that we can understand and experience.
"Kaleidoscope Jesus" is a powerful and uplifting song that celebrates the multifaceted nature of Jesus' love. It reminds us that He meets us in a variety of ways and that His love is vibrant, diverse, and ever-changing. Through this song, Lauren Daigle invites us to open our hearts and minds to the many ways Jesus reveals Himself to us and to embrace the joy that comes from knowing Him intimately.
