| Love songs? I was recently asked to arrange music for a youth retreat for a local church. The retreat is going to be February 13, 14, 15 and the main topic is going to center around love. So, in putting together songs for this retreat I'm trying to gather as many worship songs as I can about love. Here's what I have so far: Easier Than Love - Switchfoot Just The Way I Am - Big Daddy Weave Never Stop - Michael Gungor Arms Of Love - ? Deeper - Delirious? Foreverandever etc.. - DCB Love Song - Third Day Madly - ? Amazing Love - ? Never Let Go - DCB Our Love Is Loud - DCB Ready For You - Kutless What I Was Made For - Big Daddy Weave Revolutionary Love - DCB You Are My Joy - DCB How Great - DCB Your Love Oh Lord - Third Day (too old, cheesy?) Surely We Can Change - DCB Are there any other good one's I could add? I'm really looking for some songs that talk about love as action. I feel like there are so many songs about God's love for us and our love for Him, but nothing about the manifestation of that love in us as outward action. I want to focus on outreach and getting involved and in thinking about love in our daily interactions. I want to convey the concept that when we are filled with that Love it shows in what we do in our lives and how we treat others. Any songs about Love as outreach out there? The only one I can find is David Crowder's "Surely we can Change" which is an awesome song, but not really a sing along corporate worship song...

| Those are good one's I'd forgotten about, thanks! It's too bad there aren't more songs about love as action and not just words... Maybe I'll have to do Luv is a Verb

| “Madly” is Charlie Hall’s song while “Amazing Love” was written by Chris Tomlin. Here’s a few of my favorite “LOVE” songs that I could add to your list: Jason Morant – Love Song Laurie Klein – I Love You, Lord (can still sound modern and cool and beautiful) Reuben Morgan – Unfailing Love Lincoln Brewster – Power of Your Love Leeland – Yes You Have Matt Redman – Let My Words Be Few (a bit cheesy but GREAT lyricly) Michael Gungor – I Will Never Stop Michael Gungor – Children and Kings Phil Wickham- True Love (my personal favorite for this topic, look at his Youtube acoustic version, I’ve got a good chord chart I made for it) Michael Gungor’s “White Man” is a good one about outreach and MAY be fun at a youth retreat but it’s a hard one to pull off at church.

| Father, Long Before Creation And Can It Be That I Should Gain Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing My Jesus, I Love Thee Oh Love That Will Not Let Me Go Oh The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus The Love Of Christ Is Rich And Free What Wondrous Love Is This ... and Shane & Shane's "Your Mercy Reigns [Rains?]" EDIT: Forgot "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love" which is wonderful.

| You could do Hanging By a Moment by Lifehouse. Oh, and Everything by Lifehouse is another good one. Not explicitly Christian songs, but they don't say that they're about a girl either
