He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…
Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means
He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
Here returning is my theme of LOVE! God keeps pounding it in my head and in my heart!
Listening to the radio on the way to meet my friend Kristi and realized we were both listening to the same station and same song. We met in the parking lot and both got out of our cars and the first thing she says is "wow, I never really listened to the words of that song before." I too was thinking the same exact thing. Love how God shows up when you least expect Him too. :)
This song is a sad picture of not showing love to those in need but also how God shows up and loves despite our pitiful attempts. So many hurting, so many that will never know what love is truly all about.
I pray we never forget the young boy that is searching, the women that is hurting, or the man on deaths row. We are no different from them. Our outer appearance may be different, our problems may not be the same, we may have a caring family and a faithful partner, and we may not have a criminal record but there are those out there that have these scars that can't be taken away. Are they any less of people?? Are they any less deserving than we are. No they are NO less. They are the ones we need to "Love More".
Just a reminder that we are all in need of love. No matter the color of our skin, the drama that circles our lives, the rain that pours around us, or the scars that will forever mark us. WE ALL NEED HIS LOVE. Love someone else today! Love them for who they are!
