You Love Me Anyway

I heard this song today for the first time and was so touched by the words that I thought it might be a blessing to others.

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
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me


It took all of 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
Yes 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 I am the man who yelled out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth-shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with a 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
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
Yes,You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
You love me, yes You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me
