"I want to know what Love is..."

"I Want to know what Love is" - Foreigner

In a reverse to normal process with these posts, this time it started with some theology related reading, and I thought "There's a song for that..."
The Reading:
Picture
"Our developing theology is rooted in the God of love who is constantly enabling us to know fresh experiences of that love..."

"Becoming more authentically who we are as a 'Gospel People' ...  will (also) enable us to offer more humbly and joyfully the riches we are uncovering to all God's world."
​("God in Love Unites Us" - The report of the Marriage and Relationships Task Group, 2019)

I reckon that the lyrics of the song work in so many ways...

The cry of the church to God;
The cry of the theologians to God;
The cry of the world to God;
The cry of humanity to the Church... Or at least that last one would be true if we listened to how the world was crying to countless other places that promise "love"...
Lyrics:

​"I Want To Know What Love Is"

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

I wanna know what love is,
let's talk about love
I want you to show me,
I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is,
I want to feel it too
And I know and I know,
I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
