Because You Love Me

Ini adalah post pertama gw so it will become a special posting hehehe...

"Because You Love Me" lagu ini gw denger ketika gw berada di Center Street Church dalam rangka Father's day. Ketika lagu ini dimainkan, gw merenungkan setiap kata-kata dalam lagu ini. Didalam benakku, gw berpikir "Tuhan, manusia bisa menyanyikan lagu yg begitu indah ini untuk orang yg begitu special bagi hidup mereka, apakah pernah mereka menyanyikan lagu ini sebagai represent hati mereka bagi Tuhan?"

Ini lyric daripada lagi "Because You Love Me":

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Comment:
Kalo kita perhatikan lirik demi lirik, kata-kata daripada lagu ini hampir setiap baris merepresent "For all/every..." and "you were...".

Kata "For all/every.."bagi gw pribadi merupakan suatu kalimat yg merepresentkan untuk segalanya dalam hidup ini, or no execption from everything. Dan kata "You were..." merepresentkan kamu memiliki suatu arti dan menjadi bagian bagi hidup saya.

Ketika gw denger lagu gw berpikir, "seharusnya Tuhan, kata for all/everything dan You were" hanya layak diberikan kepada Engkau saja karena manusia tidak sempurna, apalah hak bagi kita untuk mendapatkan suatu appreciation yg bersifat as awhole?"

Selain itu, gw belajar dari lagu ini bahwa kita menjadi segalanya ketika kita dicintai oleh Allah Bapa kita karena tidak ada yg bisa mencuri kasih yg sempurna dari Allah ketika Allah sudah memutuskan mencintai kita sebagai anakNya. We become something, whe we loved by our God.

I wish I could dance with my groom with this song to represent my appreciation to God that He have already loved me first with His perfect love so I can love my groom with His love.
