Music Monday: You Love Me Anyway
Today’s song is from Sidewalk Prophets, “You love me anyway”:
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 more than my strength to simply be still, to seek but never find
The reasons we change, the reasons I doubt and why do loved ones have to die?
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 who yelled out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes and 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 call out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life
