Fundamental Intuition or Thought in the Theology of the Body: Man is made in the image of the Trinity- for Communion
Just as the Father and the Son eternally beget the Holy Spirit in a Communion of life and love Man and woman beget the issue of life in child bearing.
Man became the image of God not only through his own humanity, but also through the communion of persons
A human person is not only brought about, co-created with man and woman, but they come to their full maturity of the same love of man and woman that has created them.
I ran away from your love but you waited for me, yes, you waited for me and then I heard your song, singing over me, singing over me Now that I hear you Lord, I want to know you more. I want to know you more. Chorus : Sing your song to me. Oh, theres no greater thing than to listen to the sound of your voice When I hear your song I want to sing along and listen to the sound of your voice, the sound of your voice Lord, I am calling your name and Im waiting for you, yes Im waiting for you So wont you show me your way and I will follow you, yes I will follow you Chorus Singing over me bringing peace and mercy with a song that never ends Sining over me marvelous and holy, Lord, I want to hear your song again Chorus
