Pass It On

I heard this song on the KCCF 35th anniversary CD. The song was composed by Kurt Kaiser 35 years ago. I wonder if that was sheer coincidence or on purpose. When I heard the track for the first time I was struck by how simple and beautiful every part of the song was. A lot of it describes just how I feel about God's love.

There's a line in the lyrics that really struck me: "That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it, you spread his love to everyone; You want to pass it on." It really got me thinking about remembering when I truly felt his love for the first time. It's still very crystal clear in my head, I can recall exactly when the spark started that ignited everything. When I do think about it, it's just overwhelms me.

Can you recall that very moment when God put that spark in your hearts? That moment where you knew for the rest of your life you wanted to dedicate it to him? That moment that made you want to tell the world about his love? I think he always finds ways to amaze us, but the very first time he does leaves the most lasting impression.

Here's the song lyrics:

It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around, can warm up in glowing.
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it, you spread His love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the tres are budding;
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love;
Once you've experienced it, you want to sing
"It's fresh like spring."; you want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top.
I want the world to know; the Lord of lave has come to me,
I want to pass it on.
