Gospel Lyrics >> Song Title :: I Love You
Gospel Lyrics >> Song Artist :: Shaun Groves
Words and music by Shaun Groves
Don't you get it?
I'm not gonna leave you out
Don't you get it?
I'm not gonna leave you now
The rope your hopes are dangling from
Is unraveling and coming undone
But I will always be holding on
To you
Chorus
I love you
I love you
I love you
Don't you get it?
I'm not gonna leave you out
Don't you get it?
I'm not gonna leave you now
You're embarrassed and ashamed I can tell
Living in your handmade hell
Well that's a place I know too well
I do
Chorus
I'm just glad that you didn't run
Cause we've all been there everyone
I know you're feeling dirty and dumb
No need to
Story Behind The Song:
A good friend of mine made a big mistake. He was afraid to tell me or any other Christians what he had done, even after admitting his mistaking and doing all he could to make things right. I found out that he kept his sin secret because as a child his parents had been ridiculed and shunned for what some in their church felt was sinful behavior. He believed that the Christians he knew would treat him the same way. Instead, I wrote him this song. I could have filled it with theology, but he knows that. What he didn't know was that I love him - because God loved me in spite of my sin. (John 13:35)
