Pour yourself out for our Savior, our friend

'Cause I really love You, my strength and shield
I love You right now, my victory and my strength
Oh, I really love You, yeah, and I love You right now
I really love You and I love You right now
'Cause I really love You, I love You right now

And I love You right now

Meaning & Inspiration
I Really Love You is a worship song that is a plain, repeated declaration of love for Jesus. The opening section repeats "I really love You, I love You right now" four times, so the line becomes the center of the song. The verse calls listeners to pour themselves out for the Savior and friend, saying that it is all about Him and that the song is a love song composed with every fiber of the singer's being rather than an exercise.
The chorus calls Him strength and shield, victory and strength, and the bridge says that He is the singer's victory and everything. The closing lines repeat that He is everything and that the singer loves Him right now. The themes follow Deuteronomy 6:5 on loving the Lord with all the heart, 1 John 4:19 on loving because He first loved, and Psalm 18:1 on loving the Lord as strength. The repeated phrases and unhurried pace give the song an intimate, devoted tone that suits an extended, spontaneous time of worship in a gathering.
