You Loved Me Lyrics

Words & Music by Benny Hester

Sittin' in the dark in desperation
I need a friend to make some conversation
I read somewhere You loved me.
I've got a one track mind that's no exaggeration
I never had much of a reputation
But someone said You loved me.
chorus:
How can it be true
I don't deserve it but You know I need it
Jesus, You're the One I've forsaken
Beneath me I could feel the earth shakin'
When I found You loved me.

Washed upon a shore with no direction
I had no hope I had no protection
Except You said You loved me.
You came so long ago I didn't get the connection
That through Your death and Your resurrection
You proved to me You loved me.
(chorus)

Always searching for the truth
I hoped that I would find
If I just took my rime
I was hardly making it
Just livin' day to day
Then I heard someone say
John 14:6 says, Jesus You're the only way
I knew it was true, when I heard
I knew it was true
I knew it was tue
I knew it was true
I don't know if I'll live to be older
Don't wanna die with all this sin on my shoulder
Now that I know You loved me.
You can change my heart before it grows colder
From rebel kid into Your holy soldier
And all because You loved me.
