JJ Heller's song "Love Me" tenderly portrays three lonely people—a neglected child, a woman abandoned by her husband, and a prisoner facing death—each crying out for unconditional love. Through their stories, the song reveals that human acceptance often depends on performance or appearance, but God offers love freely, regardless of past or future. The prisoner hears a voice of forgiveness and acceptance, echoing the gospel message that God's love is not earned. The song gently points to the comfort and hope found in being fully known and loved by God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He's the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, "Dear God won't you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?"
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would've stayed
And she says:
Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
'Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means
He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
"I know you've murdered and I know you've lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you'll listen, I'll tell you that I..."
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew
