Mary Mary - Love Him Like I Do Lyrics
Lyrics
Love Him like I do
Love Him like I do
That's why I love Him like I do
Deitrick
Once again
Baby Dubb, My block, Deitrick,
Big Rue, Mary Mary
Verse 1: Ruben
Giving honor to first
The pastor, the church
My folks and friends
Listen to these words
See God saved me (yeah)
From myself when no one else was around
Pre-Chorus 1:
And it was only by His grace
His mercy, His favor
Cause I know I don't deserve
All the love He show me oh
How He let me know oh
He never gonna leave my side
Hook:
That's why
I love Him like I do I (x2)
That's why I love Him like I do I (x3)
That's why I love Him like I do I
I love him like I do I
That's why I love him like I do I (x3)
Verse 2: Deitrick
See I got a testimony
How to save my soul (soul)
When I was just a sinner left in the cold (cold)
Gave me a second chance, save me from myself, came to my rescue when I need help.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Do you want to know why I love Him like I do? (like I do)
Cause when my enemy said I was through
He took me from the bottom
And put me on the top
He laid His hands on me and now I can't be stopped.
Hook
Bridge: Mary Mary
Somebody told me that we overcome by our testimony
But you wouldn't believe, how doubt and fear used to paralyze me
But God's hands led me through a test and He brought out the very best in me
And now I'll never forget to tell the world what You mean to me

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on October 23, 2010, the collaboration "Love Him Like I Do" by Mary Mary featuring Deitrick Haddon and Ruben Studdard stands as a powerful testament to unwavering devotion and the transformative nature of divine love. This track isn't merely a song; it’s a vibrant declaration, an anthem for those who have experienced the profound impact of faith and are moved to express it with every fiber of their being. The core message resonates with a fervent commitment to Christ, mirroring the sentiment found in scriptures like John 14:15, where Jesus Himself stated, "If you love me, keep my commands." The song articulates a desire to love God not just in word, but through action and a surrendered heart, echoing the Great Commandment to love God with all one's heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37). The interplay between Mary Mary's distinctive vocals, Haddon's soulful contributions, and Studdard's resonant presence amplifies the song's message of communal worship and shared devotion. It speaks to a love that is active and all-encompassing, moving beyond passive admiration to a passionate pursuit of a deeper relationship with the divine. This profound affection described within the song can be seen as a reflection of the love God first showed us, as articulated in 1 John 4:19: "We love because he first loved us." The urgency and conviction in their delivery convey a desire to honor God with their lives, to offer Him the highest form of praise and adoration, much like David’s zealous spirit that led him to dance with all his might before the Lord (2 Samuel 6:14). "Love Him Like I Do" encourages listeners to examine their own relationships with faith, prompting a sincere question of how deeply and how actively they are expressing their love for God in their daily lives, urging a response that is as fervent and committed as the one so beautifully portrayed in this inspiring track.
