The Future
The Shanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't imagine being worthy of a love like this
I could be a better man, I swear to You
Come back and see me in a year or two
At the moment I'm trying to change into
A future version You can embrace
"You I love
No mistake can change My mind
Come, seek, and find
My love is yours right now"
Right now I'm seeing You and I cannot deny
Amazing Grace but still I try and try and try
To gain a love like this
"You know the things that I am seeing
They must be true
'Cause I have seen you in a year or two
And I can tell you now your sin remains
But I still love you with amazing grace"
I am loved
Regardless of the things I've said and done
No mistake can change Your mind
I'm your design
Your love is mine right now
It's less about the do's and don'ts and won'ts and can'ts
And all the things that make you feel like
My love is far away
It's more about the things I've done to overcome
In My life, and death, and resurrection
My love is yours today
Nothing can separate my love anyway
I am loved
Regardless of the things I've said and done
No mistake can change Your mind
I'm Your design
Your love is mine
I am loved
Regardless of the things I've said and done
No mistake can change Your mind
I'm Your design, God
Your love is mine right now

Verse two correction: "Cuz I have seen you in a year too"
Point being, God sees us now and in the future, and He knows we'll still be sinning (in this life) but loves us anyway.
Verse three correction: "It's less about the do's and don'ts and won'ts and can'ts and all the things that make you feel like my love is far away."
