You Love Her So
Redemption's Cry: A Poetic Plea for a Broken City
Lyrics
The city, God, You love her so
The city, a representation of a place, is deeply cherished by God.
Her sons abandoned long ago
Her sons have distanced themselves or abandoned their connection to the city for a prolonged duration.
Her daughters ravaged in the night
The city's daughters have suffered violation and destruction during the night.
While we all turn our backs and hide
Despite these difficulties, everyone collectively turns away and avoids acknowledging these issues.
Break my heart in two
Expresses a plea for emotional distress, a desire for deep pain.
‘Til she returns to You
Requesting for the city to return to a state of connection or alignment with God.
The city, God, she hides her face
The city metaphorically hides its face from God.
She breaks Your heart
The city's actions cause emotional distress or pain to God.
You give her grace
Despite the city's faults, God offers forgiveness and mercy.
She curses You in all her shame
Despite being ashamed, the city speaks ill of God.
But You pursue her all the same
God continues to pursue the city despite its negative actions.
Break my heart in two
A repetition of the plea for emotional pain until the city reconnects with God.
‘Til she returns to You
Reiterates the desire for the city to return to God.
You love her so, You love her so
Reaffirmation of God's deep love for the city.
You love her so
Emphasizes God's profound and unwavering love for the city.
You love her so, You love her so
Reiteration of God's enduring love for the city.
You love her so
Restates the theme of God's steadfast love for the city.
Take my heart it is Your own
An offering of one's heart to God, submitting it for His purposes.
And fill my hands with seed to sow
Requesting God to equip with the means to contribute positively to the city's restoration or growth.
Reprimand my foolish pride
A plea for correction of personal pride to perceive the city through God's perspective.
So I can see her with Your eyes
A desire to view the city with the same compassion and understanding as God.
You love her so, You love her so
Reaffirmation of God's profound love for the city.
You love her so
Emphasizes God's deep and unwavering affection for the city.
You love her so, You love her so
Repetition emphasizing God's enduring love for the city.
You love her so
Reiterates the theme of God's steadfast love for the city.
You love her so, You love her so
Further repetition of God's profound love for the city.
You love her so
Continued emphasis on God's deep and unwavering affection for the city.
You love her so, You love her so
Reiterates the theme of God's steadfast love for the city.
You love her so
Further affirmation of God's profound and enduring love for the city.
Break my heart in two
Repetition of the plea for emotional pain until the city reconnects with God.
‘Til she returns to You
Reiterates the desire for the city to return to God.
