Lyrics
Chorus
I love God, you don't love God?
What's wrong with you? (Repeat)
Verse 1
I don't think that I could live no other way
Truth be told, I'm livin' how I wanna, ayy
Nah, this ain't them blessings in the modern day
The Lord I serve, He gives 'em to me every day
Pre-Chorus
I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven (Ayy, ayy)
See, I done been forgiven, now I'm livin' (Ayy, ayy)
And when I say I love, I mean it
'Cause none of this means nothin' if He comes and I miss Him, shawty
Chorus
I luh God, you don't luh God?
What's wrong with you? (Repeat)
Post-Chorus (Repeat)
I love Him, I love Him
Love Him, I love Him, I love Him
Verse 2
You ain't got the money moving by yourself
And you know you did it with a lot of help
You know it's only One, it ain't nobody else
You got me talking strong, and I ain't rich, I'm talking wealth
See, I'm forgiven, I'm forgiven
See, I done been forgiven, now I'm living
And when I say I love, I mean it
'Cause none of this means nothing if He comes and I miss Him, shawty
Chorus (Repeat)
Post-Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge
Wanted you to fall (Wanted you to fall, I do)
You remember? I do, I do (Oh, I do, I do)
You could've lost it all (You could've lost it all)
You remember? I do, I do (I do, I do)
No one could throw you off, oh He got you covered
Protect us from it all, that's what makes me love Him
I don't need a reason to fall on my knees and
Tell Him how I feel in my heart
And let Him know
Chorus (Repeat)
Post-Chorus (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"I Love The Lord" declares devotion to God in blunt, conversational language, opening with a direct challenge asking why anyone would not share that same love. Its verses credit daily provision and personal transformation entirely to God, distinguishing that provision from ordinary modern success and insisting instead that every blessing comes directly from the Lord being served.
The pre-chorus centers on forgiveness as the basis for that devotion, repeating the claim of having been forgiven and now living differently as a result, while warning that none of it matters without ultimately being present with Christ. A bridge turns reflective, recalling past vulnerability to failure and crediting God's protection for what was not lost, naming that protection as the reason behind the declared love.
Set in a contemporary urban gospel style with direct, informal language, the song functions as unembarrassed public testimony rather than reflection, repeating its central declaration until it becomes a settled identity: love for God stated plainly and without qualification.
