For those that may have not heard, there is a band that’s been around for several years called Sanctus Real. They’ve become one of my favorite bands to listen to because of their great music and greater message. They have one song though that caused a great shockwave about a year or two ago and hasn’t stopped yet. It’s called The Face of Love. Here’s the lyrics.

I’ve seen your face on stained glass, in colored lights, in pictures of You looking to the sky. You’ve been portrayed a thousand different ways but my heart can see you better than my eyes. ’Cause it’s love that paints the portrait of your life.

The face of love, the face of love, you look more like love everyday

I’ve read your words in the pages of you life and I’ve imagined what you were like. I may not know the shape of your face but I can feel your heart changing mine. And Your love still proves You’re alive.

You are the face that changed the whole world. No one too lost for you to love. No one too low for you to serve. So give us the grace to change the world. No one too lost for me to love. No one to low for me to serve. O let us see… let us see your face.

If you try to think of all the ways Jesus has been physically portrayed, you’ll certainly lose count. Plus, it’s almost always some white actor from the U.S. It’s unfortunate that Jesus in our minds is a white guy, or maybe black. If anyone wants to get technical, he’s a dark skinned Middle Eastern dweller. But it doesn’t matter. Whatever you think of when you think of love, that’s what he looks like.
