Love Like Jesus
“Love Like Jesus” is a fast-moving rap and dubstep track about being found in a low place and discovering that grace is bigger than failure. It is honest about scars, mistakes and fear, but full of hope, energy and the belief that Jesus can bring light into even the darkest moments.
Blending rap, dubstep, heavy bass and flashes of flute, “Love Like Jesus” tells the story of someone who has stopped running and started to recognise the grace of Jesus at work in their life.
The song does not pretend that the past was perfect. Instead, it speaks openly about pride, fear, brokenness and getting things wrong, while celebrating forgiveness, peace and the chance to begin again. At its heart is a simple message: the love of Jesus finds people where they are, lifts them up and starts to change the way they live.
With its fast pace, deep sound and bold energy, the track is honest, accessible and full of hope.

Lyrics
I was bruised up, pride on ice
Actin' tough, but I paid that price
You found me low in a bad damn place
Still You looked at me with grace on grace
I kept runnin' from Your open hand
Now I know Your mercy got a bigger plan
When my name felt small in the crowd
You spoke life so loud, so loud
#PRE-CHORUS
And I don't need a perfect past
You make broken things last
Hold me close when I fall apart
You put heaven in my chest, in my heart
#CHORUS
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Pull me up when I'm lost in the dark
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Put Your fire in my heart
Oh, love like Jesus
#VERSE
I got scars, but they don't run me
I got peace where the fear used to sleep
Whole lotta days I was actin' blind
Now I see Your light in the middle of mine
You forgave me when I was dead wrong
Turned my weak into a battle song
Now I try to live what You gave
Love that saves, love that stays
#PRE-CHORUS
And I don't need a perfect past
You make broken things last
Hold me close when I fall apart
You put heaven in my chest, in my heart
#CHORUS
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Pull me up when I'm lost in the dark
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Put Your fire in my heart
Oh, love like Jesus
#BRIDGE
So take my hands, use my voice
In the fire, You're my choice
When the world gets cold and mean
You stay holy in my veins, clean
I was made for more than pain
Made to praise Your name
If I ever lose my way
Call me back, I'll say hello
#CHORUS
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Pull me up when I'm lost in the dark
Love like Jesus
Love like Jesus
Put Your fire in my heart
Oh, love like Jesus
