I See Love
Ryan Cabrera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some see a teacher standing on a hill speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer reaching out His hand to give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer wasting His life for what can never be
Some see a fool dying for His dream

But I see love, I see love
Light of heaven breaking through
But I see grace, I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect
Love when I see You
I see love

Some see a prisoner alone before His judge with no one to defend him
Some see a victim beaten and abused with all the world against Him
Some see martyr carrying His cost for what He believes
Some see a hero who set His people free

But I see love, I see love
Light of heaven breaking through
I see grace, I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect
Love when I see You
I see love

With your last breath I see love
Through Your death I see life
I see peace in the eyes of a King
I see hope in Your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of a storm
I see a savior

I see love, I see love
Light of heaven breaking through
I see grace, I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect
Love when I see You
I see love





Some see Him walking from an empty grave

Overall Meaning

The song "I See Love" by Ryan Cabrera is a deeply spiritual and emotional composition that speaks of the love that God has for everyone, and how that love is evident in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. The lyrics explore the many facets of Jesus' life and how different people from different walks of life saw him. The first verse talks about Jesus as a teacher, a healer, a dreamer, and a fool. Each image represents a different perspective of Him, and while some see Him as a simple human being, the singer sees love. The chorus then repeats this sentiment that even in the darkest moments of life, the love and grace of God shine through.


The second verse follows a similar pattern, describing different perspectives of Jesus's life. The lyrics talk about Jesus as a prisoner, a victim, a martyr, and a hero. Once again, each image represents a different perspective that people had towards Jesus, but the singer sees His love shining through it all. The bridge takes a more personal turn, speaking of the singer's own experiences of seeing love in Jesus. The lyrics talk about how even in death, he sees love and life in Jesus, and how hope and peace can be found through Him.


The song ultimately ends with a triumphant declaration of love and grace, describing the joy of seeing Jesus walk out of an empty grave. Throughout the lyrics, it is clear that the musician is deeply moved by the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and chooses to see that love shining through every moment of His life.

I'm surprised this song isn't being shared across the internet. With ALL the bad things happening in the world, this should be out there more. Why do we always share the negative stuff? Lets make the world smile more because I SEE LOVE! Perhaps I'm just biased because I co-wrote this song! Haha Spread the LOVE!!!! :)
