Lauren Daigle's 'Love Like This' is a worship song expressing awe at God's unconditional love. The lyrics use imagery of wasteland, winter, and desert to describe human brokenness, contrasted with God as water, fire, and river that pursues and restores. The repeated question 'What have I done to deserve love like this?' emphasizes that God's love is unearned and freely given. The song culminates in a 'Hallelujah' refrain, celebrating grace. It reflects themes of God's relentless pursuit and the believer's humble gratitude, resonating with passages like Romans 5:8 about God's love shown while we were still sinners.

When I am a wasteland You are the water
When I am the winter You are the fire
That burns
When I am a long night You are the sunrise
When I am the desert You are the river
That turns to find me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
Your voice like a whisper breaking the silence
You say there's a treasure and You look till You find it
You search to find me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I cannot earn what You so freely give
What have I done to deserve love like this?
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I cannot earn what You so freely give
What have I done to deserve love like this?
