Today I was struck by the lyrics of Steven Curtis Chapman song (I'm amazed at how often that happens).
He's got a Bible and a megaphone standing on the corner
And everybody's saying he's crazy
Well does he really think anybody wants to hear what he has to say
He's not screaming at anybody in fact he says
It's a love story that he's trying to tell them
And he knows he may look a little strange
But he just smiles and says that's okay
'Cause you know sometimes love makes you
Act that way
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
'Til it's making you do
Something crazy
I know a lady in Uganda, forty kids call her mama
And everybody thought it way crazy
She used to drive a Beamer, but I've never seen her
Any happier than she is now
I've met them all around the world, they're the boys and girls
Filled up with the love of the Father
And they know it may seem a little strange
But they just smile and say that's alright
'Cause love puts everything in a different light
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
'Til it's making you do
Something crazy
Something crazy
Crazy
Crazy when love gets a hold of you
Crazy, crazy
Crazy thing that love will make you do
Well, some might say it's a crazy thing
To believe in a man who would say he came
From heaven down to earth because of love
But I just smile and say that's okay
'Cause you know sometimes love makes you act that way
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
'Til it's making you do
Something crazy
So, today I am pondering these lyrics. I often feel far too complacent in the life I am living, but I don't want to be complacent. I want more...or maybe it's that I want to want more. I want to be more and do more for Jesus, but fear, uncertainty, and a general lack of direction seem to be standing in my way. It's certainly something to pray about.
