Music Monday: Live like you’re loved

Something a little lighter this week: Hawk Nelson’s “Live live you’re loved”…

You’re not the only one who feels like this
Feelin’ like you lose more than you win
Like life is just an endless hill you climb
You try and try, but never arrive

I’m tellin’ you somethin’
This racing, this running
Oh, you’re working way too hard! (You’re working way too hard)
And this perfection you’re chasing
Is just energy wasted
Cause he love’s you like you are!

So go ahead and live like you’re loved
It’s ok to act like you’ve been set free
His love has made you more than enough
So go ahead and be who he made you to be

And live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved

And live like you’re know you’re valuable
Like you know the one that hold your soul
Cause mercy has called you by your name
Don’t be afraid to live in that grace

I’m tellin’ you somethin’
This God we believe in
Yeah, he changed everything
No more guilt! No more shame!
He took all that away
Gave us a reason to sing

So go ahead and live like you’re loved
It’s ok to act like you’ve been set free
His love has made you more than enough
So go ahead and be who he made you to be

And live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved
Live like you’re loved

Live like you’re loved, walk like you’re free
Stand like you know, who he made you to be
Live like you’re loved, like you believe
His love is all, that you’ll ever need

So go ahead and live like you’re loved
His love has made you more than enough

So go ahead and live like you’re loved
It’s ok to act like you’ve been set free
His love has made you more than enough
So go ahead and be who he made you to be

Music Monday: Drops in the ocean

I’ve been hearing this song on the radio a lot recently, Hawk Nelson’s “Drops in the ocean”

I want you as you are, not as you ought to be
Won’t you lay down your guard and come to me
The shame that grips you now is crippling
It breaks my heart to see you suffering

Cause I am for you
I’m not against you

If you wanna know
How far my love can go
Just how deep, just how wide
If you wanna see
How much you mean to me
Look at my hands, look at my side
If you could count the times I’d say you are forgiven
It’s more than the drops in the ocean

Don’t think you need to settle for a substitute
When I’m the only love that changes you

And I am for you
I’m not against you
I am for you
I’m not against you

Open your heart
It’s time that we start again
Open your heart
It’s time that we start again
