JJ Heller – Love Me
For those of you who know me, you know that I love discovering music and lately I’ve really come to like JJ Heller. I don’t remember exactly how I came across her, I think iTunes had recommended one of her other songs to me and I stumbled across this one.
It’s a beautiful song that takes a glimpse at three different people who are going through different trials and really wanting to know what love is. At the end they hear, "I will love, you for you. Not for what you have done or what you will become." What powerful words, especially for those who really need to hear it. While human relationships and love can let us down, the love of God doesn’t, which is pretty awesome.
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing" – Zephaniah 3:17
Love Me
JJ Heller
He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says
Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means
He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I…
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
