He Loves Me
Pastor Brad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know why I say, half the things I say.
Don't know why I am the way I am.
Don't know lots of things about lots of things in life.
But I'm sure about one thing; Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
And He loves me!
Yea He went to the cross for you and me—and He loves me!
I'm so thankful that He loves me!
I'm thankful that He loves me!
I don't deserve your love
I don't deserve your goodness to me no
You are the One who came down from Heaven, put on flesh and dwelt
Among men...
Lots of things in life, I don't understand...
One thing I know for sure—You're the Way, the Truth and the Life!
And He loves me! Yea He went to the cross for you and me!
And He loves me!
I'm thankful that He loves me!
I'm so thankful that He loves me!
I'm thankful that He loves.... even me!
The lyrics of Pastor Brad's song "He Loves Me" express the singer's uncertainty about his actions and words, as well as his lack of understanding of many things in life. However, despite all of this, he is confident in one thing: that Jesus loves him. This assurance is highlighted in the chorus, where the singer declares his gratitude for Jesus' sacrificial love. The second verse acknowledges the humility and unworthiness that come with receiving such love, but also emphasizes the absolute truth of Jesus' identity as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Loving the instrumental intro and l already know that I'm going to love this song as it has Les Carlsen of Bloodgood on lead vocals! He's got an awesome voice and I listening to Bloodgood as I head off to sleep every night after saying a prayer that goes like this: "Lord I pray that Angels will come down and protect my mind, heart and imagination by putting up a large wall with razor wire, taking up the shield of Faith and a hedge of thorns to keep the enemy out, amen."
