Kathy Troccoli - Love Has Come Lyrics
Lyrics
With one voice the angels sing
Songs that make creation ring
Prophets hear and call us to
Live in the spirit and in truth
Father, Yahweh, Elohim
Voice of thunder, spirit, wind
Breathe on me your very life
Grace will make the darkness bright
Word of God enthroned dwell in us forevermore
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah, God is with us
Love has come to show the way
God of covenant divine
Lead us to the end of time
Beyond sorrow, beyond fear
Beyond pride and earthly tears
Word of God enthroned dwell in us forevermore
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah, God is with us
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah
(God is with us)
Hallelujah
(God is with us)
Hallelujah
(God is with us)
Hallelujah
(God is with us)
Now, salvation has come
In the New Jerusalem
Dancers dance and singers roar
Proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord
Word of God enthroned dwell in us forevermore
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah, God is with us
Love has come to show the way
Word of God enthroned dwell in us forevermore
Love has come to show the way
Hallelujah, God is with us
Love has come to show the way, the way

Love Has Come
Meaning & Inspiration
Kathy Troccoli's "Love Has Come," featured on her 1995 album *The Heart of Me*, is a profound devotional that captures the essence of the Christian faith with remarkable clarity and spiritual depth. The song doesn't just celebrate a feeling; it declares a tangible reality – the advent of God's love in the person of Jesus Christ. From its opening lines, evoking the celestial chorus of angels, Troccoli points us towards the universal announcement of divine presence, echoing the prophecies that heralded Christ's coming. The lyrics meticulously weave together Old Testament appellations like Yahweh and Elohim, reminding us of God's ancient covenantal faithfulness, with the New Testament revelation. The plea, "Breathe on me your very life," is a powerful invocation for the Holy Spirit, drawing parallels to Genesis 2:7 where God "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." This is not merely a hopeful wish but a cry for the transformative power that grace brings, capable of illuminating even the deepest darkness, a sentiment found in John 1:5: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." The central message, that "Love has come to show the way," is a direct testament to Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The recurring refrain, "Hallelujah, God is with us," is a direct echo of Matthew 1:23, where the prophecy of Immanuel is fulfilled. This isn't just a statement of past events but a present reality, that God's salvific love is not confined to history but is an enduring presence. As the song progresses, it envisions the fulfillment of God's promises, moving "beyond sorrow, beyond fear," pointing towards the peace that surpasses all understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7. The mention of "New Jerusalem" and the proclamation that "Jesus Christ is Lord" solidifies the song's theological grounding, speaking of ultimate redemption and Christ's sovereign authority, as declared in Philippians 2:11. "Love Has Come" is more than a song; it’s an act of worship, a declaration of faith that God’s enduring love, embodied in Jesus, has indeed arrived to guide humanity towards eternal truth and salvation.
