"A Perfect Love"

I was listening to Hilary Weeks (I Will Not Forget) this morning as the kids were playing with their Easter baskets and hiding eggs around the living room. I love this song and just wanted to share...

A Perfect Love
(written by Hilary Weeks and Doug Pincock)

How can I understand
What He Gave just for me
I look up and I breathe the air
Smell the rain and feel the earth beneath my feet.
I touch the breeze and it fills me

With His Love
It's all around me
His perfect love
Lifting me up
He gave his life to His last breath
He lived that I might see
How a perfect love could be

Stars fill the endless sky
As sand slips through my hands
I can't count all His creations
But somehow in the vastness of the worlds He's made
He knows me and He fills me

With His Love
It's all around me
His perfect love
Lifting me up
He gave his life to His last breath
He lived that I might see
How a perfect love could be

Tiny hands and trusting heart
I hold this child in my arms
And I begin to understand what He feels
What He must feel...


The music leads back into the beautiful chorus from there. Every time I hear this song, especially these last few lines, tears well up in my eyes. Just knowing how much I love my kids, the infinite love that mothers have for their children, I am reminded that this love I feel is only a glimpse of how much Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love each of us.

Such a perfect song to celebrate this significant day.

Happy Easter!
