Love Like You Loved Me

Love Like You Loved Me
Lyrics by Darren Penrose

I still hear Your words movin’ through me
Feels like the world’s still fallin’
Dirt on Your hands, knees in the dust
My feet—Your grace is callin’

You could’ve stayed clean, stayed above
But You knelt where the broken bleed
Said, “Love like this, don’t just say it”
Now that truth won’t let me be

So I’ll love like You loved me
Down in the dirt, where the proud won’t be
Not for show, not for praise
But to shine like You did that day
If they see me, let ‘em feel You
In what I say and what I do
Yeah, I’ll fight to live this legacy—
To love… like You loved me

You called me “friend” when I was runnin’
Didn’t throw my past in my face
You saw through the shame and shadows
And spoke truth laced with grace

You said, “If you’re mine, then let ‘em see
A love that don’t flinch, don’t come cheap”
So I’m learnin’ slow, but I ain’t quittin’
I want that fire runnin’ deep

So I’ll love like You loved me
Even when I’m bleed’n quietly
I’ll lay it down, take up the weight
Live the kind of love that won’t break
Let ‘em feel hope when I show up
Even if I’m still messed up
I’m leanin’ in, not tryin’ to flee—
I’ll love… like You loved me

This love ain’t soft—it’s got scars
It bends low and it reaches far
Ain’t about rules or Sunday fame
It’s about that cross and Your holy name

So I’ll love like You loved me
On good days and when I can’t see
One step, one breath, one choice at a time
Let Your heartbeat echo mine
If I fall, help me rise again
To love my people like You did back then
Yeah, You made a disciple outta me—
To love… like You loved me

[Outro]
Still hear Your words
Still feel that grace
Still got that fire
I can’t replace
