Presence Music Band's new song, 'Love Better,' is a call to have a closer look at how you love others. The band shares: 'We had the hook for love better in our heads for years, but we were really committed (or stuck) in the vertical “Sunday Morning” worship genre during that time so didn’t want to finish or release the song.' The band finally finished the song the night before flying to Atlanta to wrap up their album.
“Love Better” is a wake-up call, a reminder of what Jesus called the second greatest commandment: 'love your neighbor as yourself'. Not an emotional love, but love as a verb, where we are asked to lay down our judgments, open up our hearts, and treat people with diginity and respect.
The song starts with the words: 'We’ve become each other’s enemy... But there's only one remedy.' It highlights the fact that most people tend to focus on conflicts instead of the love that God freely gives each of us. The chorus urges us to let love overflow, touching the hearts of the broken, the outcast, and those who feel unworthy. It's a call to action, to love better, until every heart has changed.
Why isn't love our go-to response? That is what the second verse is about. The lyrics urge us to lead people to God’s word rather than throwing stones at them. The bridge reminds us of Jesus’ sacrifice and how this should reflect on our own actions.
This song it's beautiful message. Listen to 'Love Better' and may it inspire you to act with more grace and compassion.
