Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were singin' over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath
You breathe Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Fights till I'm found leaves the 99
I couldn't earn it i don't deserve it
Still, You give yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy when all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions
Eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
And, oh how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us how He loves us so
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God oh, it chases me down
Fights till I'm found leaves the 99
I couldn't earn it i don't deserve it
Still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up comin' after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down comin' after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up comin' after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down comin' after me
He loves us all how He loves us all
How He loves us all how He loves
He loves us it's overwhelming
He lives us it's never ending
He loves us oh, the reckless love of God
The lyrics to "Reckless Love / How He Loves Us" by Anthem Lights speak of the overwhelming, never-ending love of God and His relentless pursuit of us. The song begins by acknowledging the goodness and kindness that God has shown to us even before we could speak or take a breath. It highlights how God's love is undeserved, yet He gives Himself away to us freely.
The phrase "reckless love" represents the idea that God's love for us is extravagant and defies all logic or reason. It is a love that goes beyond expectations and is relentless in pursuing us. It chases us down and fights for us, leaving everything behind to find us, just as a shepherd would leave the 99 sheep to find the one that is lost. The lyrics emphasize that we couldn't earn or deserve this love, yet God still gives Himself to us unconditionally.
The song then describes God's love as a hurricane, showing His jealousy for us. It portrays God's love as a powerful force that bends us beneath its weight, but also as a mercy that eclipses any afflictions we may face. Through His love, we come to realize and appreciate the beauty of who God is and the depth of His affections for us.
The bridge of the song declares that there is nothing that can stand in the way of God's pursuit of us. There is no shadow that His light won't illuminate or mountain that He won't climb to reach us. He will tear down any walls or lies that separate us from Him. This showcases the relentlessness and determination of God's love for us.
Overall, the song emphasizes the overwhelming and never-ending love of God that chases after us, fights for us, and will stop at nothing to bring us closer to Him. It reminds us of how He loves us completely and unconditionally, even when we don't deserve it. It is a powerful proclamation of the depth and magnitude of God's love for each and every one of us.

I may be only 14 but this sings to my heart. And here is my testimony.. when I was born I was very early and wasn’t able to breath on my own and it’s amazing god chose to save me out of so many baby’s that have died from this my dad and my mom both new it was bad so they did the thing they new how to THEY PRAYED the next day the looked at my lungs and found they were fully formed and I could breath! When I was a little older my dad was bathing me and found a spot on my leg that he had never seen before my skin was stuck to my bone and so he took me to the hospital and figured out that it’s a disease that what the doctor said was that I was going to be fully crippled by the age of 13. My parents did it again they turned to Jesus to help me the next day my dad was bathing me and found that it was gone!
