How Do You Love That Way

(album: Somethin' 'Bout Love - 2004)

[Verse 1]
I must have made You cry a million tears
Used enough mercy for a million years
You'd think by now Your grace would disappear
Guess that's why You called it love
You spread Your arms across eternity
You shed Your blood to buy my liberty
You fight for me with all intensity
With an undeniable love

[Chorus]
How do You love that way
I need You to teach me to love that way
Why do You love that way
Whatever You do don't stop

[Verse 2]
Addicted to my selfishness and greed
Thinking my foolishness could meet my need
Pulled up flowers trying to make room for weeds
But it doesn't uproot Your love, I'm so crazy
You just correct me-try to slow me down
Rain on me softly when my leaves are brown
Resuscitate me when I hit the ground
So tenacious with Your love

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge]
I wandered and wavered a ship lost at sea
I treated Your mercy so frivolously
Yet an ocean of love You poured over me
Your love won't stop

[Pre-Vamp]
How do You love oh Lord
Will You teach me to love that way
Why do You love
Whatever You do don't stop

[Vamp]
By holding me, oh Lord
You're showing me
By teaching me, oh Lord I plainly see
Your love indeed, it amazes me
Whatever You do don't stop
Why You would smile upon this broken man
It blows my mind I just don't understand
For the love I need is in Your nail-scarred hand
Whatever You do don't stop

[Repeat Vamp-Out]
