Elle Limebear's 'What Love Looks Like' is a contemporary worship song that reflects on the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. The lyrics contrast human unworthiness with God's relentless grace, describing how Christ's death on the cross—marked by scars, a crown of thorns, and forgiveness—defines true love. The song emphasizes themes of grace, forgiveness, and God's patient pursuit, even when believers wander. It draws on the gospel narrative of the crucifixion to illustrate love that is both tender and transformative.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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
