How Do You Love That Way Songtext
von Fred Hammond

I must have made You cry a million tears
Used enough mercy for a million years
You′d think by now Your grace would disappear
(Guess, that's why You called it love)

You spread Your arms across eternity
You shed Your blood to buy my liberty
You fight for me with all intensity
With an undeniable love

How do You love that way?
I need You to teach me to love that way
Why do You love that way?
Whatever You do don′t stop

Addicted to my selfishness and greed
Thinking my foolishness could meet my need
Pulled up flowers tryin' to make room for weeds
But it doesn't uproot Your love, I′m so crazy


You just correct me, try to slow me down
Rain on me softly when my leaves are brown
Resuscitate me when I hit the ground
So tenacious with Your love

How do You love that way?
I need You to teach me to love that way
Why do You love that way?
Whatever You do don′t stop

How do You love that way?
I need You to teach me to love that way
Why do You love that way?
Oh please, oh please don't stop

I wandered and wavered, a ship lost at sea
I treated Your mercy so frivolously
Yet an ocean of love You poured over me
Your love won′t stop

How do You love, oh?
Will You teach me to love that way?
Why do You love?
Whatever You do don't stop, yeah


By holding me, oh Lord, You′re showing me
By teaching me, oh Lord, I plainly see
Your love indeed, it amazes me
Whatever You do don't stop, yeah

Why You would smile upon this broken man
It blows my mind, I just don′t understand
For the love I need is in Your nail-scarred hand
Whatever You do don't stop, hell no

By holding me, oh Lord, You're showing me
By teaching me, oh Lord, I plainly see
Your love indeed, it amazes me
Whatever You do don′t stop, yeah

Why You would smile upon this broken man
It blows my mind, I just don′t understand
For the love I need is in Your nail-scarred hand
Whatever You do don't stop

By holding me, oh Lord, You′re showing me
By teaching me, oh Lord I plainly see
