We've got CD sets and videos, radio and TV shows
Conferences, retreats and seminars
We've got books and magazines to read on everything from A to Z
And a web to surf from anywhere we are
But I hope with all this information buzzing through our brains
That we will not let our hearts forget the most important thing
Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
It's all about love
Now they're fighting in the middle east
And they're fighting down on Seventh Street
And there are fights in my own house on given days
It's like something's lurking deep inside
That can't seem to be satisfied
But life was not meant to be lived this way
'Cause it's true for every man and woman
Every boy and girl
That our only hope for living here together in this world
Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
This is the reason we were made
To know the love of our Creator
And to give the love He's given us away
Yeah, the Maker, and the Father, and the God of everything
He says to love, love, love
He says love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause after all, it's all about love
Gods says love, love, love, love, love, yea yea
It's all about love, love, love, love, love (love love love)
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
'Cause after all, it's all about love
That's right, yeah (laugh)
Woo!
It's all about, yea yea
It's all about
All about love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love
Yea it's all about love love love
It's all about love love love (yea love)
After all don't you know?
That it really all comes down to love
After all don't you know that
Gonna tell you what it's all about, yeah
Yeah, it's all about love
Yeah, it's all about love, yeah
It's all about love,
Love, love, love
"All About Love" by Steven Curtis Chapman is a beautiful song that encapsulates the importance of love in our lives. With its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, it resonates with listeners and reminds us of the true essence of life.
The song begins by acknowledging the plethora of resources available to us in this digital age – CDs, videos, radio, TV shows, conferences, retreats, and more. We have access to an abundance of information, but amidst it all, Chapman poses a thought-provoking question: "But I hope with all this information buzzing through our brains, that we will not let our hearts forget the most important thing." This sets the stage for the central theme of the song – love.
Chapman emphasizes that love is the key aspect that should guide our lives. He sings, "It's all about love, love, love, love, love. Everything else comes down to this. Nothing any higher on the list than love." This echoes the teachings of Jesus, who said in Mark 12:30-31, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Love is the greatest commandment and the foundation for all other aspects of life.
The song acknowledges the presence of conflicts around us, both globally and within our own homes. Chapman recognizes the brokenness in the world and the struggles we face in relationships. He sings, "It's like something's lurking deep inside that can't seem to be satisfied." However, he urges us not to lose sight of the fact that life was not meant to be lived in constant conflict. Rather, it is meant to be lived in love.
Chapman reminds us that the purpose of our existence is to know the love of our Creator and to give that love away to others. He sings, "This is the reason we were made, to know the love of our Creator, and to give the love He's given us away." This echoes the words of 1 John 4:7-8, which says, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love." Love is not just an emotion or a feeling, but it is a reflection of our relationship with God.
"All About Love" serves as a reminder that love should be at the forefront of our lives. It encourages us to prioritize love in our daily interactions, relationships, and decisions. Love has the power to transform our lives and the world around us.
In conclusion, "All About Love" by Steven Curtis Chapman is a powerful song that conveys the importance of love in our lives. It draws inspiration from Scripture, reminding us of the greatest commandment and the love that God has shown to us. Through its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, the song encourages us to make love the driving force in our lives. It is a reminder that love is the foundation upon which everything else stands. So let us strive to live a life that is truly all about love.
