Never wanted You to love me,
Like You do
Never wanted You to care for me,
And to help me through
I didn't ask You to die there,
Then forgive me too
Never wanted You to love me,
Like you do

I couldn't believe in a God who reigns on high
And that He sent His only son into the World to die
I would fear my own existence as I lay awake in bed
And if You tried to speak to me, this is what I said

Never wanted You to love me,
Like You do
Never wanted You to care for me,
And to help me through
I didn't ask You to die there,
Then forgive me too
Never wanted You to love me,
Like you do

I was just a boy, I didn't know too much
I couldn't see salvation in Your healing touch
If I only knew the joy that Your love brings
You save our souls from evil, Lord You are the King

Never wanted You to love me,
Like You do
Never wanted You to care for me,
And to help me through
I didn't ask You to die there,
Then forgive me too
Never wanted You to love me,
Like you do

Feelings change
We don't stay the same
Our hearts return
To where they started from

Now I want You to love me,
Like You do
And I want You to care for me,
And to help me through
And I thank You for dying there,
And forgiving me too
Now I want You to love me,
Like You do
