Reckless Love
Unveiling the Endless Love: A Journey through Reckless Devotion
Lyrics
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
God's continuous care and attention even before the person expressed themselves.
You have been so, so good to me
Expressing gratitude for God's consistent goodness and kindness.
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
Highlighting God's role in the creation of life by breathing His essence into the person.
You have been so so kind to me
Acknowledging God's ongoing kindness to the individual.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Describing God's love as overwhelming, never-ending, and characterized by recklessness.
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99
Depicting God's pursuit, effort, and sacrifice to find and save the person.
And I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it
Emphasizing that the love received is not earned or deserved.
Still You give yourself away
Acknowledging the selfless nature of God's love.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Reiterating the extraordinary and reckless nature of God's love.
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
Reflecting on a time when the person was in opposition to God, yet God's love persisted.
You have been so, so good to me
Expressing gratitude for God's continued goodness despite the person's previous enmity.
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
Acknowledging a sense of unworthiness and recognizing God's sacrificial act on the person's behalf.
You have been so, so kind to me
Appreciating God's ongoing kindness even when the person feels undeserving.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God
Reiterating the overwhelming and never-ending nature of God's reckless love.
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99
Describing the pursuit and fight of God's love, using the metaphor of leaving the 99 to find the one.
And I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it
Stressing that the love received is not based on merit.
Still You give yourself away
Highlighting the self-sacrificial nature of God's love.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God
Affirming the overwhelming and reckless quality of God's love.
There's no shadow You won't light up
Using metaphors to emphasize that there is no obstacle too great for God's love to overcome.
Mountain You won't climb up
-Coming after me
-There's no wall You won't kick down
-Lie You won't tear down
-Coming after me
-There's no shadow You won't light up
Reiterating the idea that nothing can hinder God's pursuit and tearing down barriers to reach the person.
Mountain You won't climb up
-Coming after me
-There's no wall You won't kick down
-Lie You won't tear down
-Coming after me
-Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God
Reaffirming the overwhelming, never-ending, and reckless nature of God's love.
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99
Continuing the imagery of God's pursuit, fight, and willingness to leave the majority for the one.
I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it
Reiterating the idea that the love received is not earned or deserved.
Still You give yourself away
Emphasizing the self-giving aspect of God's love.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God
Concluding with the overwhelming, never-ending, and reckless love of God.
