So the chorus to the song goes as follows:
He loves me still,
he loves me through
me loves me
Even while, even when.
He loves me anyway,
in spite of and more than.
When I sip, when I fall, and let go
Even when I should hold on,
He loves me still,
he loves still,
And something tells me
he always will.
This song literally swept me off my feet. I was changing my daughter's diaper when I suddenly began to sob. It just overwhelmed me. However, though the song was beautiful and brought a wonderful spirit, it was not the song alone that left me in tears.
As I listened to the song, I started to think of my savior and his everlasting love for me. I thought about how he suffered for me. I thought of what his suffering means for me, how he took MY sins and MY suffering. Then, there was a line in the song that spoke about how he suffered for us anyway and either way. I thought for a moment about timing. Christ made his sacrifice so long ago. His bleeding in the garden was thousands of years ago. And then, when he was lifted upon the cross, he told The Father that the work was done. The work for me was done so many years ago. His love for me is unconditional. He will not pick and choose the sins he is willing to pay for. He will not get to me and say "I just can't do it anymore." Oh, My Father! The work is done! Even before I was born, he suffered for me. My Savior bought me with his blood before I could even sin! He will not leave me alone. The work is done, there is no conditions on his end.
What a wonderful blessing to know that my Savior loved me so much that he sacrificed for me. Oh, that I might better use and appreciate this miraculous blessing! I am overwhelmed with gratitude for My Savior and the work he did for me.
I pray that when we are weak, when we fall, and even when, that we can remember his love for us. I pray for the strength to utilize his magnificent blessing of repentance. May we never forget his open arms.
I will praise His name forever!
Never forget that you are loved!
