Johnny Drille - SWEET AS A MOTHER'S LOVE Lyrics
Lyrics
Sometimes you get lucky
Sometimes your stars collide, hmm
Put me back on the right track, babe, just in time
I never knew a love like this, no, no
Could ever exist, no
That's when you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm
Sweet, sweet
Sweet as a mother's love
Sweet, sweet
Sweet as a mother's love
You know it's not easy, you know it's hard to find
Gave me the heart to make a new start just in time, mmm, yeah
I never knew a love like this, no, no
Could ever exist, yeah
That's when you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah mmm
Sweet, sweet
Sweet as a mother's love
Sweet, sweet
Sweet as a mother's love
Sweeter than sugar, sweeter than honey
Sweeter than all of the things you can buy with money, oh
She gives her all and ask for nothing in return
That's when you know, that's when you know
Yeah, mmm, sweet, sweet
Sweet as a mother's love
So sweet, so sweet (Sweet, sweet)
So sweet (Sweet as a mother's love)
Sweet as a mother's love
Sweet as a mother's love

Johnny Drille x LOUD - Sweet as a Mother's Love
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on November 5, 2021, Johnny Drille and LOUD's "Sweet as a Mother's Love" immediately captivated many with its pure and resonant message. Far from a fleeting pop anthem, this track delves into the profound experience of discovering a love so transformative and unconditional that it reshapes one's entire trajectory. The song speaks to that rare, precious connection that feels divinely orchestrated, a love that arrives precisely when needed, pulling a soul from potential despair and setting it firmly on a path of purpose and hope. It describes an awakening, a realization that such a perfect affection could actually exist, bringing a clarity that transcends mere emotion.
The heart of "Sweet as a Mother's Love" lies in its depiction of an unparalleled love that serves as a guiding light, a force that corrects missteps and instills the courage for a fresh start. The initial lines about stars colliding and being put back on the "right track, just in time" echo the divine orchestration often spoken of in Scripture. Just as Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, promising that He will make our paths straight, this song suggests a guidance that steers one towards a righteous and fulfilling life. It’s a powerful testament to the timely intervention of a love that truly cares, mirroring God’s omnipresent hand in our lives, always ready to redirect us toward His perfect will.
The repeated refrain, "Sweet as a mother's love," establishes the benchmark for this extraordinary affection. A mother's love, in its purest ideal, is often considered one of the most selfless and unwavering human experiences – a love that gives without expecting anything in return, a comfort that soothes all worries. This sentiment resonates deeply with the nature of God's love for His children. Isaiah 49:15 asks, "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget you." This verse beautifully portrays divine love as even more constant and profound than the deepest human bond. The song's description of a love that "gives her all and ask for nothing in return" directly reflects the sacrificial love demonstrated by Christ, who "gave Himself for us" (Titus 2:14), asking only for our faith and a reciprocating love.
The song’s exploration of finding a love previously unimaginable—"I never knew a love like this... Could ever exist"—speaks to the astounding nature of God's grace. Before experiencing His mercy and forgiveness, many live in spiritual blindness, unaware of the boundless love available. Romans 5:8 reminds us that "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This divine affection is truly unlike anything humanity could conceive on its own, exceeding all earthly measures of affection. It’s a love that is "sweeter than sugar, sweeter than honey," symbolizing its immeasurable value and profound satisfaction compared to any material possession or fleeting pleasure, echoing Psalm 119:103, which describes God’s words as "sweeter than honey to my mouth."
Ultimately, "Sweet as a Mother's Love" serves as a profound meditation on the power of unconditional affection to redeem and renew. It speaks to the experience of being given "the heart to make a new start," a concept central to the Christian faith. Second Corinthians 5:17 declares, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." This song, through its tender and heartfelt expression, invites reflection on the ultimate source of such transformative love – a love that is truly sweet, unchanging, and eternally available, guiding us back to our true home and purpose. It’s an inspiring reminder that the deepest connections in life, those that truly uplift and empower, bear a striking resemblance to the divine love poured out for us.
