You Love Me Anyway

I am His.

Period.

With all my successes and failures, hopes and dreams, lack of follow through and every “Should’ve”…Yep, still His.

My “Why did I” and “Why didnt I” and especially, “What do I do now that I did.”  STILL HIS.

See..there is a couple things that you must remember on this journey of sweeping the temple, He doesnt move and His love doesnt change.

When Jonah sat in the belly of the fish?  Yep, still loved.  When David sinned with Bathsheba?  Still loved.

It took Jonah three days of sitting in that muck to call out for help…I can tell you I have sat in the midst of my mess for much longer and still He loved me through it.

You are His, friends…dont ever forget it.

Romans 8:38 and 39 says: For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You Love me Anyways:

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
