Love is Above

Hablar de Dios entre jóvenes de hoy requiere entrar en su cultura, su música y su estilo. El jesuita Mike Martínez SJ se lanzó en su ministerio con música hip-hop a protagonizar esta canción, Love is Above («El Amor está arriba»), en un videoclip dirigido por el jesuita Dimas Oliveira SJ que incluye a chicos y chicas de la red de escuelas «Fe y Alegría» en Brasil. El mensaje en inglés es claro y directo: para amar a Dios, invisible, debemos amar a nuestro hermano, visible. ¡Cuánto cambiaría si lo practicáramos!

I have a vow to make
Actually, I have three
See, I became poor, chaste and obedient
Not so that I can run from love
But so that I can truly
Love (love)!

Poor, chaste and obedient
These the main ingredients
For speeding the Kingdom in
This is what I mean my man
Whenever we say "Amen"
It's not just a word I'm saying
But a way of life though (life though)
"Miami Mike"
More than on a mic though
I am on the right path
Writing on my sins past
Fight to right my wrongs fast
Trying to make this song last
"Secula Seculorum"
Just reporting the most important.

Love is above
Every other rule in the club
Don't dub
To love the invisible
You must love your brother that is visible
You live it dude!

Love is above (is above)
Every other rule in the club (in the club)
Don't dub (dub)
To love the invisible
You must love your brother that is visible
You live it dude!

What if love of God and neighbor were one?
Then all religious separation
There would just be none
All racial segregation won't exist
Be done
Love creates unification till your Kingdom come
And every nation makes a station
Where your will is sung
And most important
Builds a building
Where your will be done
All global warfare would be won and done
'Cuz we both fighting for the same cause
All as one! (won)

Love is above
Every other rule in the club
Don't dub
To love the invisible
You must love your brother that is visible
You live it dude!

Love is above (is above)
Every other rule in the club (in the club)
Don't dub (dub)
To love the invisible
You must love your brother that is visible
You live it dude!

"And as you have freely given me the desire
To make this offering
So also may you give me the abundant grace
To radically fulfill it"
Amen.

Mike Martínez, SJ, Love is Above
