The sea rarely gives up the dead, or that’s what Phil Harris thought when he tried to throw former business partner Glenn Coggeshell overboard.

 

It’s All About Love

Every song.
Every story.
Every heartbeat.
It’s all about love.

From the first words ever written to the final song I’ll sing, love has always been the thread that holds the fabric of our lives together. Whether it’s finding love, keeping love, making love, losing love, wanting love, or giving up on love altogether—we are creatures created by love, for love.

Yet somehow… we are watching love disappear.

We’ve come to a dangerous crossroads in human history, where love is no longer sacred. It’s becoming diluted, devalued, and in some cases, completely forgotten. It’s like a black hole is swallowing the very thing that once gave life its deepest meaning.

And this is dangerous—not just spiritually—but for the future of mankind.

The Greatest Gift

I’ve always believed the greatest gift in life is not just finding love—but keeping it. Once upon a time, purity was a virtue. Staying a virgin until marriage was something to be honored, even expected. But now, in a world drunk on indulgence and deception, you can find women being exploited, selling themselves by the thousands, and men chasing fantasies that don't love them back.

And yet, there are still those rare souls—those one-in-a-million hearts—who have given their love to only one. Who have cherished that love. Protected it. Grown old with it. And in my eyes, those people are the true heroes of our time. The quiet role models in a noisy, love-starved world.

I wish I could say that was my story. But life… life took me through storms before I could understand what love really meant.

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:4–5, KJV

The Bible doesn’t just talk about love—it defines it. And we need to remember that real love waits, endures, believes, and hopes.

Love Can’t Be Artificial

There is no love in Artificial Intelligence.
No love in a robot.
No love in a fake social media profile pretending to be someone who doesn’t even exist.

The digital world may simulate connection, but it cannot give the warmth of a touch, the depth of a shared glance, or the holy bond of a vow kept through the years. Our movies push lust. Our music glorifies the act. And everything around us is telling the next generation that love isn’t necessary—just pleasure, just the moment, just yourself.

But when a society stops valuing love, it dies.

Because love is what gives us value.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
— Matthew 24:12, KJV

We are living in that verse right now. Love is growing cold. And it’s chilling to the soul.

The Song I’ve Always Been Singing

As a songwriter, I’ve written hundreds of songs. And though the genres may vary, the lyrics might change, the message at the heart is always the same: Love.

In 1997, I released a song called God’s Tears from my album A Generation of Time VII. One of the lines still haunts me today:

“I don’t know how long I can hold back the tears,
The rain will fall once again.
I don’t know how you can betray,
The love that I have for you.
Forevermore.”

I wasn’t just writing that to a person. I was echoing the heart of God.

He’s been pouring out His love since the Garden. And still, we betray it.

Another song, My Greatest Love, captures that yearning too. (Watch the video here: My Greatest Love – YouTube)

To be honest, every song I’ve ever written has been about love in some form—whether it was love lost, love hoped for, or love from above.

Love over money.
Love over power.
Love over even myself.

Because if we lose love, we lose everything.

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:1, KJV

No matter how gifted, successful, or loud we are… if there is no love, it all becomes noise.

The Greatest Commandment

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
— Matthew 22:36–40, KJV

Everything comes down to love. Everything.

Love God.
Love your neighbor.
And don’t forget to love yourself the way God does—not through selfishness, but through understanding your worth in Him.

We don’t need another trend.
We don’t need another AI voice to whisper fake sweetness in our ears.
We need real, sacred, lasting love again.

Let’s stop chasing illusions.
Let’s stop playing games.
Let’s return to what matters.

Let’s get back to love.
