This week’s featured song story comes to us from Elle Limebear. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “What Love Looks Like.”
“It’s a simple one but it’s super direct. Love is a feeling, it’s an action but what is absolutely amazing is that it doesn’t stop there. If we really want to see the true act of love, if we really want to know the definition of love we have to look at Jesus on the cross. He died for us so that we could be free and He’s forgiven us. This is what the song is all about. That Jesus is the true act of love. This is what love looks like.” – Elle Limebear

“What Love Looks Like” Lyrics
I have seen what love looks like
Brighter than the morning light
Tender as the sweetest sound
Yet can turn the tables upside down
Oh Lord, because of what I’ve done
My list of sin and shame
I don’t deserve Your heart
But still…
You love me completely
So much You gave Your life
You offered it freely
A relentless sacrifice
And I see scars in Your hands and feet
Thorn crown You wore for me
Forgiveness in Your eyes
This is what love
This is what love looks like
Always patient, always kind
You never leave the lost behind
And even though I wander still
Oh, You chase me down, You always will
You love me completely
So much You gave Your life
You offered it freely
A relentless sacrifice
And I see scars in Your hands and feet
Thorn crown You wore for me
Forgiveness in Your eyes
This is what love
This is what love looks like
Oh Lord, because of what I’ve done
My list of sin and shame
I don’t deserve Your heart
But still…
You love me completely
So much You gave Your life
You offered it freely
A relentless sacrifice
And I see scars in Your hands and feet
Thorn crown You wore for me
Forgiveness in Your eyes
This is what love
This is what love looks like
It looks like You, Jesus
It looks like You, Jesus
