Sufjan Steven's music is so beautiful, it makes me cry. There's this song called "For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti." The whole song seems to be about the role of love in the crucifixion. Anyway, there is a line at the end that say "I did everything for you." and it gets repeated several time. I was listening to it the other day and just started bawling. I just imagined living my entire life, and getting to Heaven and what it would be like to be able to say that to Jesus as he says that to us. That is love right there. To be able to say I did everything for you. That is beautiful.
