Building 429's 'Show Me Love' is a heartfelt Christian rock song about the struggle to live out faith while feeling imperfect. The singer acknowledges that his actions don't always reflect his love for God, yet he finds comfort in knowing God sees his true heart. He asks for love, life, and time to grow, expressing a desire to shine despite his flaws. The lyrics touch on justification by faith and the gap between belief and works, ultimately celebrating God's undeserved love and the need for grace.

[Verse 1]
Love is patient love is kind
You love me and You don't mind
That I'm not so perfect
You know I'm undefined
My actions fail to show
But in spite of me you seem to know
That I only want to love you
I don't mean to be so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
My words have cut You to the bone
But my heart still longs for you alone
[Chorus]
Show me love, show me life, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
Show me love, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
[Verse 2]
I know by you I am justified
But still I can't find the line
Where my works will match my faith
And I'll lay myself aside
My actions fail to show
But in spite of me you seem to know
That I only want to love you
I can't make it on my own
When my mind denies the love I know
My life sends nails through your bone
[Chorus]
Show me love, show me life, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
Show me love, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
[Bridge]
I can't define Your love but I need it I need it yeah
I can't give enough of me but You want it so I'll give it
I don't deserve Your love but I have it, I have it now
[Chorus]
Show me love, show me life, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
Show me love, give me time
Because I want to shine
[Chorus]
Show me love, show me life, give me time
Because I want to shine
Show me love, show me life, wait, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
