You might be taken aback the first time you hear the chorus of this song. Don Francisco is certainly not pulling any punches when he writes, “Jesus didn’t die for you because it was fun.” Truer words have not been sung. He then finishes the chorus with, “Love is not a feeling, it’s an act of your will.” Plenty of food for thought there then. This short two-minute song might challenge you more than you might want.
It ties in with my post-Pentecost “mission” theme. If we can’t show steadfast love as Christians, then we need to exam the gospel we are following, and it all starts at home with our nearest and dearest.
The first of a number of Don Francisco songs I would like to introduce…

Lyrics
Love Is Not a Feeling
Written by Don Francisco
Copyright 1984 Benson Music Group Inc
So you say you can’t take it
The price is too high
Your feelings have gone
It seems your river’s run dry
You never imagined
It could turn out so rough
You give and give and give
And still it’s never enough
Your emotions have vanished
It once held a thrill
You wonder if love
Could be alive in you still
The ring on your finger
Is put there to stay
You’ll never forget
The words you promised that day
Jesus didn’t die for you
Because it was fun
He hung there for love
Because it had to be done
And in spite of the anguish
His work was fulfilled
Cause love is not a feelin’
It’s an act of your will
Love is not a feelin’
It’s an act of your will
Now I wouldn’t try to tell you
That it’s easy to stand
Satan’s throwin’ everything
That’s at his command
But Jesus is faithful
His promise is true
And the things that He asks
He gives the power to do
You know He didn’t die for you
Because it was fun
He hung there for love
Because it had to be done
And in spite of the anguish
His work was fulfilled
Cause love is not a feelin’
It’s an act of your will
Love is not a feelin’
It’s an act of your will
Love is not a feelin’
It’s an act of your will
