Song Meaning
Matthew West's 'Just Like You' is a worship song reflecting on God's persistent grace and love despite human failure. The lyrics contrast the singer's tendency to run and hide with God's faithful pursuit and saving action. West acknowledges his unworthiness and sinfulness, yet marvels that God sees his heart and loves him anyway. The song references the classic hymn 'Just As I Am' to emphasize salvation through Christ's sacrifice. It celebrates the transformative power of divine love that accepts believers as they are and gradually shapes them to be more like Jesus. The overall message is one of gratitude for grace and the assurance of God's unwavering acceptance.

Lord Your wonders never cease to amaze me
Cause every time I get down upon my knees I know You hear me
And I've been less than faithful but you've been more than graceful
When anyone else would have walked away
It's just like you to save me
It's just like me to run and hide
It's just like love to take me as I am and make me just like you
Well I could think of a million reasons why I don't deserve your love
And I could try and try and try and try but I could never be good enough
Because I am just a sinner but I am saved by grace
You see the heart in me but you love me anyway
It's just like you to save me
It's just like me to run and hide
It's just like love to take me as I am and make me just like you
Just as I am without one plea but that thy blood was shed for me
You see everything I do and still you choose to love me.
