Like Jesus Does
Unconditional Love: Embracing Imperfections
Lyrics
I'm a long gone Waylon song on vinyl
I am reminiscent of a classic Waylon Jennings song on a vinyl record.
I'm a back row center at a tent revival
I am like someone sitting inconspicuously in the back row at a tent revival.
But she believes in me like she believes her Bible
Despite my flaws, she has faith in me, comparable to her belief in the Bible.
And loves me like Jesus does
She loves me unconditionally, drawing a parallel to the love of Jesus.
I'm a lead foot leaning on a souped up Chevy
I am a fast driver leaning on a modified Chevrolet.
I'm a good ol' boy, drinkin' whiskey and rye on the levee
I am a stereotypical country boy, enjoying whiskey by the river.
But she carries me when my sins make me heavy
When burdened by my mistakes, she supports me.
And loves me like Jesus does
Her love for me mirrors the forgiving nature of Jesus.
All the crazy in my dreams
Reference to the chaotic aspects of his aspirations and the challenges he faces.
And both my broken wings
Expressing personal vulnerabilities and past failures.
Every single piece of everything I am
She accepts and embraces every aspect of who I am.
And she knows the man I ain't
Acknowledgment that she understands the imperfections he possesses.
She forgives me when I can't
Her capacity to forgive is highlighted, even when he cannot forgive himself.
The devil, man, no, he don't stand a chance
The challenges posed by the devil are insurmountable because of her love.
'Cause she loves me like Jesus does
Reiterating the profound love she has for him, comparable to Jesus' love.
I always thought she'd give up on me one day
Expecting abandonment due to his imperfections, but it hasn't happened.
Wash her hands of me, leave me staring down some runway
Anticipating a departure, but she remains steadfast despite his flaws.
But I thank God each night and twice on Sunday
Expressing gratitude for her enduring love, emphasizing it as a blessing.
That she loves me like Jesus does
Her love is likened to the unwavering love of Jesus.
All the crazy in my dreams
Repetition of the idea of chaos in dreams and acknowledgment of brokenness.
And both my broken wings
Repetition emphasizing that she accepts all aspects, even the damaged parts.
Every single piece of who I am
Every part of his identity, including flaws, is embraced by her.
Yeah, she knows the man I ain't
Recognition that she understands him beyond what he presents to the world.
She forgives me when I can't
Her forgiveness extends to times when he cannot forgive himself.
And the devil, man, no, he don't have a prayer
Confidence that the negative influence of the devil is powerless against her love.
'Cause she loves me like Jesus does
Reaffirming the profound love she has, drawing a parallel to Jesus' love.
Yeah, she knows the man I ain't
Reiteration of her understanding and forgiveness, emphasizing his imperfections.
She forgives me when I can't
Highlighting her capacity to forgive when he is unable to do so.
That devil, man, he don't stand a chance
Reinforcing the idea that the devil cannot overcome the strength of her love.
She loves me like Jesus does
Emphasizing the enduring and unwavering nature of her love.
I'm a long gone Waylon song on vinyl
Reiteration of his identity as a figure reminiscent of Waylon Jennings.
