“Love Me“
He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says:
Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means
He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I…”
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew.
This was the first song I ever learned by JJ. It’s still one of my favorites, I listen to it every day after I bought it.
🙂 I think i’m going to learn it now i’ve found it. I’s such a beautiful song, with an amazing message! 🙂
Do it!!! I play it every time my family does our casual worship times at home 🙂 Great song.
Awww Savannah, they sound like precious moments!
I’ve just found the guitar chords, so i’m on it!! 😀
Thanks for the encouragement, God bless you. 🙂
God bless you, brother!!! 🙂
I have loved this song since the first time I heard it, I have only been a Christian for a little over 4 years and one of the things that always brings me to tears (happy tears) is the fact that he loves me for me. I used to feel so insecure and unlovable before I had Jesus. Every time I hear this song it reminds me… wow how awesome life is now with him in it! It is so freeing to know that it only matters what God thinks and no matter where I have been or what I have done, forgiven, redeemed and loved. All of us can have this gift if we just open it. Now this song is stuck in my head the rest of the night, Thank you 🙂
Wow this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing a little of your journey. I’ve only just found this son, and it really spoke to me in so many ways!
It’s such a blessing to meet you here, and share our stories etc! God bless you. : )
