lyrics

He loves me still though I do not deserve it.
You love me still with reckless abandonment.

Verse1
I know for a fact that You love me so much
even at times when I feel greatly out of touch;
then out of my own strength I can't really do what's needed
‘cause the sacrifice to prove this love is still alive has been completed;
which I recall receiving but at times often mistreated
at moments that my sin's allure gotten me heated;
heading to destructive ways to which I pleaded
guilty, worthy of death, and that I'm alive still can't believe it
asking, can it really be? Well surprisingly yes;
starting at the moment of the first time that I confessed
to know and live for nothing less my Lord Who gives me the power,
supplying me the grace I need to exist until this hour.
Even when my speech is sour as I recover from sin;
the Holy Spirit's power urges me again
run to the altar of Golgotha's renewing cleansing,
lay my life down, live for Him and sing…

Chorus
The look of love is got me thinking
of all things that I’ve been missing.
I thank You that You’ve been so patient,
pouring out Your grace, giving me salvation.

Verse2
So weeks and months later as I'm continually amazed
that I get up every morning, and Your grace has not phased
away when I went astray to my sinful ways,
and I'm affirmed that You still love me 'cause I'm here today;
giving You praise in ways that I do it best;
offer my gifts back to You with which I have been blessed
to express all that I am, shine the light I can,
according to the command given by the Son of Man;
Until the end I can't imagine doing nothing else;
You put the words on my mouth and it is Your name I will bless;
receive the love that I been given and spread it to the rest
at times when I have fallen and when I'm at my best;
confess the name of ultimate love God my Father
Who keeps on loving me more than any other;
with Him being part of me I'll strive higher, go farther,
and after this song of praise ya’ll I will sing another like…

Chorus
The look of love is got me thinking
of all things that I’ve been missing.
I thank You that You’ve been so patient,
pouring out Your grace, giving me salvation.

Bridge
He loves me still though I do not deserve it.
You love me still with reckless abandonment.

Verse3
This love made me see and analyze my wondering ways
of which I start thinking and feeling very shamed
because my heart was captured by various form of idolatry
rather than by You, a safe place where it ought to be.
I can't believe that I let my soul get so waisted,
intoxicated with all the fleshly sin I've tasted,
but worst of all, learned to love it and crave it
when at the beginning of it, it is something that I should of hated.
So there I slowly faded, stuck in the darkness yet too blind to see
Your sovereignty over the path that was paved in front of me,
yet what I had coming You knew all along,
and now that I can see it through Your eyes I will sing this song,
'cause You're so worthy to be receiving my eternal praises
for rescuing my soul out of the darkest places,
and this fact amazes me that Your love is so strong
that You never let me go until Your work is done, and still going.
And still going; keeping me flowing.

Chorus
The look of love is got me thinking
of all things that I’ve been missing.
I thank You that You’ve been so patient,
pouring out Your grace, giving me salvation.

End
The look of love is got me thinking
of all things that I’ve been missing. (You can have all of me.)
When I was away from You I didn’t know what to do.
The look of love is got me thinking…
