[Verse 1]
The important thing about having faith in You
Is knowing grace is the only truth
The kind of love that lets me learn
From every crash, from every turn
You gave Your life so I could stand
Forgiven, free — not by my hand
It’s the only reason I’m still breathing
You’re the only reason I keep believing
[Bridge 1 – Pre-Chorus]
And I know I’ll never be perfect, never clean
But with Your love, I can finally love me for me
[Chorus]
So why do some who wear Your name
Throw stones, spread fear, and preach in shame?
When all You ever spoke was love and grace
Every red letter shines from that place
You bless us more than we deserve
Still some use Your name to hurt
But You loved us right from our birth
Let me live like You do — with love, not hurt
[Verse 2]
They say they follow You, then they cast the blame
Twist Your words, and preach in vain
But I remember the ones You called —
A broken past, a prison wall
A fisherman, a prostitute
A traitor who found truth in You
They didn’t write of fire and hate
They wrote of mercy, they wrote of faith
[Bridge 2]
So why do we keep pointing fingers in the pews
When all You ever taught was love that breaks through?
[Chorus]
Why do some who wear Your name
Throw stones, spread fear, and preach in shame?
When all You ever spoke was love and grace
Every red letter shines from that place
You bless us more than we deserve
Still some use Your name to hurt
But You loved us right from our birth
Let me live like You do — with love, not hurt
[Bridge 3 – Build Up]
Let’s stop shouting all about hell
Start talking about the love that fell
Down from Heaven, arms open wide
To lift us up, to stay by our side
Not to judge, but to renew
To teach us how to love like You
[Solo Chorus – Gentle]
Why do some who wear Your name
Throw stones, spread fear, and preach in shame?
When all You ever spoke was love and grace
Every red letter shines from that place
You bless us more than we deserve
Still some use Your name to hurt
But You loved us right from our birth
Let me live like You do — with love, not hurt
[Final Chorus – Full Emotion]
So I won’t wear Your name in vain
I’ll lift the lost, I won’t cast shame
‘Cause all You ever gave was love and grace
Not a sword, but a warm embrace
You bless us all with second chances
No matter what the past advances
You saw our worth from the start
So I’ll love like You do — with my whole heart
