I've Always Loved You
Third Day's song "I've Always Loved You" is a heartfelt declaration of God's eternal and unconditional love. The lyrics express that words and miracles are insufficient to prove this love, yet God reassures that He has loved us from before time began and will continue to love us despite our turning away. The song references the ultimate sacrifice of giving one's life, pointing to Jesus' crucifixion as the greatest demonstration of love. It conveys a message of reassurance, faithfulness, and divine affection, inviting listeners to rest in the certainty of God's unwavering love.
I don't know how to explain it
But I know that words will hardly do
Miracles with signs and wonders
Aren't enough for me to prove to you
Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I'll tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will
Greater love has not a man
Than the one who gives his life to prove
That he would do anything
And that's what I'm going to do for you
