You Love Me Anyway

I have heard this song You Love Me Anyway by the group Sidewalk Prophets, a couple of times today, and really makes you think about what you have done to the One who came to save you in your words and actions. We have all done wrong and have offended a Holy God, and yet He chose to love us anyway. That is what we call unconditional love.


The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn’t mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future’s so far
My heart is so frail
I think I’d rather stay inside

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anyway

See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

But You love me anyway
Oh, God… how you love me

You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

You love me, You love me
You love me, You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me

So many people look at their lives and think that there is no way that they could turn their lives around and accept God's unconditional love. There are many people that have done horrible things in both man's and God's eyes, but even those people can be saved if they choose to accept the gift of His love. Your life will never be the same after you have accepted Him as your Savior. He went through a great deal of pain to secure our souls and save them from being lost and sent to Hell. Are there things you own that are more important than your soul's eternal state? Think about the importance of this choice, because it is your soul that is at stake.

"For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
