Imagination, yet not enough

This post is devoted to the imagery and meaning of two songs that

I've come across this past week.  When I start to describe these

imagery, I've realized that it cannot fully describe the event that

has happened: Christ's death and resurrection.

First Song: The Wonderful Cross by Chris Tomlin

Verse 2:

See from his head, his hands, his feet

Sorrow and Love flow mingled down

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet

or thorns compose so rich a crown

The imagery of this song is so amazing.  When I thought of Christ's 

crucifixion, yes, I imagine a lot of blood.  But, this song took that 

imagery and changed it to more than that: love and sorrow flowing 

out of body.  Christ having to go through all that pain and bloodshed 

would bring about sorrow from God the Father.  To see the Son going 

through all this just for us, miniscule entities compared to God.  But, 

for His Son to go through all this, we, as miniscule entities, is being 

shown mercy and love by God the Almighty.  I can't remember any 

instances where I felt sorrowful but love at the same time except for 

the story of Christ.  Instantly, I was humbled and broken that God 

took us and provided us security and joy when we were naked and 

shameful like a helpless babe.  This is the God we humbly serve and 

love with all our hearts.

Second Song: Joy by Pages CXVI

We know the song "I've got the joy down in my heart" song.  We 

know it's the happy song that we always sang when we were little.  

We do have joy in hearts by what God has done for us through 

Christ.  However, this is the ironic part of the song by Pages CXVI: 

the melody is very depressing, sad.  How does that work? Here 

you have lyrics of a joyous, happy song put together with a 

depressing melody?

Here is the lyrics that may somehow clear that confusing: "I can't 

understand, and I can't pretend that this will be alright in the end.  

So, I'll try my best and lift up my chest to sing about this joy."  

Even then, it's hard to describe this song.  Yet, it makes sense that 

we are joyful of what Christ has done, but at the same time, the 

depressing melody is there to express maybe what God was going 

through when Christ was being crucified.  This song may not do

justice to the Passion of Christ movie.  The movie may not do justice 

to the actual event described in the bible (or even the event itself).

We should be happy about what Christ has done on the cross, yet 

at the same time, it's very sorrowful (which doesn't even adequately

describe the deed done)of what Christ had to go through to finish 

the promise that God has promised for us.  The song "Joy" ends with 

the song "It is well with my soul."  Definitely, it is well with our souls 

of the deed done.
