Verse 1]
I know I don’t say it enough, Lord, You stayed when I walked away
You held me through my darkest nights, when I was drowning in my shame
Been through the fire, been through the flood
Blamed myself for the tears and the pain I couldn’t outrun
[Pre-Chorus]
And it’s easier to pray
When I act like I’m praying for somebody else
It’s easier to say
But this time, Lord, it’s for myself
[Chorus]
I’m loving me, ‘cause You first loved me
I’m standing tall, ‘cause You set me free
I didn’t give it all just to get nothing
You turned my pain, Lord, into something
I’m loving me, I’m loving me
I’m loving me, through Your mercy
[Verse 2]
If I were anyone else, I would’ve held me when I cried
Told myself, “You’re justified”—
You’ve been fighting for that light inside
You’ve been walking through the valley, still alive
God gave you breath, don’t you dare deny
[Pre-Chorus]
And it’s easier to sing
When I act like I’m singing for somebody else
But this praise, this healing
This time it’s for myself
[Chorus]
I’m loving me, ‘cause You never left
I’m lifting hands, even in my mess
I didn’t give it all just to get nothing
You made this brokenness into something
I’m loving me, I’m loving me
I’m loving me, through Your mercy
[Bridge]
I wanna feel, but I’m trying to heal—my soul is aching
Picking up pieces while my heart is breaking
But every breath I take, Lord, You’re remaking
And I hear You say, “I’m proud of you”
Oh, I know You are—so proud of me
[Final Chorus]
I’m loving me, ‘cause You stayed through it all
You lifted me, every time I’d fall
I didn’t give it all just to get nothing
You turned this pain, Lord, into a blessing
I’m loving me, I’m loving me
Yes, I’m loving me—‘cause You first loved me
