[Verse 1]
Lately I've been busy thinkin'
And this is what's been on my mind
It seems like all I do is work for You, Lord
But I feel empty on the inside
I know that work is an important part
Oh but this is also true
My dilemma is an issue of the heart
When I try to live for you without you
I don't need to try to be
The flawless example
Lifted up for everyone to see
I don't need to stand and shout it
"Hey I've got the answer!"
If your presence is living in me
I won't need to talk about it
In a church committee
For the world to know the truth
All I need to do is just be me
Being in love with you
I've been spending all my time
And all my efforts trying
to make you proud of what you see
But to my great surprise
I have realized
Nothing that I do can change your love for me
Being In Love With You
Song Meaning
Big Daddy Weave diagnoses a subtle problem in "Being In Love With You" — not neglecting God, but working for Him so constantly that the relationship itself gets lost in the labor: "it seems like all I do is work for You, Lord, but I feel empty on the inside." The song is careful not to dismiss the work itself, only to name the specific way it can quietly replace what it was supposed to express.
"My dilemma is an issue of the heart, when I try to live for You without You" locates the actual malfunction precisely — activity substituting for presence. The verses that follow reject the usual proof of spiritual seriousness one by one: no flawless example, no public answer, no committee testimony. "All I need to do is just be me, being in love with You" replaces performance with something closer to simple attention.
The closing realization — "nothing that I do can change Your love for me" — resolves the tension the whole song has been building, separating the work from the relationship it was never actually required to earn.
