Steven Curtis Chapman's 'Love You With My Life' is a reflective Christian song that questions what it truly means to say 'I love You, Lord.' It contrasts mere words with a life of obedience and action, emphasizing that genuine love for God is demonstrated through listening, obeying, and following His ways. The song references Jesus' teaching that love for Him is shown by doing what He commands, and it highlights the ultimate example of love in laying down one's life. Chapman encourages believers to prove their love through their daily living, making the song a call to authentic, surrendered discipleship.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There is a pressing question
My heart's been asking me:
When I say "I love You Lord",
What does it mean?
I know it's one thing to say it,
And another thing to do;
How can I show you it's true?
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love You with my life.
I wanna love You with my life.
I'm gonna listen and obey, I'm gonna live these words I say.
I'm gonna love You with my life.
Some people love with money;
Some people love with words;
Some people love because they love the returns;
Yet with all these complications,
The greatest love is always found
In the one who lays his life down.
[Chorus]
He said if we love Him,
We're gonna do the things He told us,
Walk the path He showed us;
So if you love Him, show Him it's true in how you're living.
If you mean it, say it with me.
[Chorus]
