Loving My Jesus
Casting Crowns' song 'Loving My Jesus' is a personal testimony of redemption and a call to share one's faith. The lyrics describe a sinner who was far from home but heard God's call and experienced shame being lifted. The singer vows to spend the rest of his life loving Jesus, showing his scars, and telling his story of mercy. He prays that the whole world hears his heart's cry to see loved ones also loving Jesus. The song acknowledges the lie of hiding pain and emphasizes that the truth is being a broken man set free. It ends with a desire for the legacy of making God's name known.
I was a wandering soul
Traveling a well worn road
A sinner so far from home
No second chance in sight
I heard You call my name
I felt You lift my shame
And I made a vow that day
That I'd spend the rest of my life
Loving my Jesus
Showing my scars
Telling my story of how mercy
Can reach You where You are
And I pray the whole world hears
The cry of my heart
Is to see all the ones I love
Loving my Jesus
Sin tries to make you hide
Whispers that same old lie
Keep all your pain inside
'Cause no one will understand
The last thing this lost world needs
Is someone I'm trying to be
Truth that has set me free
Is that I'm just a broken man
When all is said and done
When my last song's been sung
I stand face to face with the One
Who gave all for me
May all I have to show
Be all that mattered most
Making Your great name known
Let this be my only legacy
