You LOVE Me Anyway

I have been hearing a song on the radio lately that I sing along to. I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics, except for the bridge...it is awesome (in a very convicting way)! I heard the song again this morning and as I was singing along I realized that the lyrics are "You love me anyway" and I had been singing "You loved me anyway".

I wish I could explain why I sang the word "loved" instead of "love", but it is an interesting realization because the You in this song is God. God does love us in the present, not the past tense.

The song is by Sidewalk Prophets and here are the lyrics from the bridge:

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anyway

I encourage you to listen to the entire song and be reminded of God's love for you!
