Lyrics
Here I come
With everything whole
And everything broken
Within my soul
I won’t wait another day to wash my sins away
Never I’ve found
A love so pure
To take all of my wrongs
And make them Your own
More than my mind and my desires hold
You gave me more
As I go to the waters
Memories rise, each step reminds
Me who I was and who You’re making
Soaking clean
I’m finally free
You are the Hope of my life
Lifter of our eyes
In You, I’ve come alive
How I love You
Your healing I have known
Your beauty we will show
Rescuer of my soul
How I love You
Now I know
When more trials come
And the darkness steals the dawn
Your Holy Spirit
Is my Peace forevermore
I believe You are
Who You say You are
I believe You gave
More than I deserve
For all my days I will live to tell
Of Your goodness, Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
How I Love You presents cleansing and new life through the imagery of entering water. The singer approaches with both wholeness and brokenness, confessing sin and receiving a love able to take those wrongs away. As memories arise with each step, the past is not denied; it becomes the background for freedom and for the identity God is forming.
The chorus answers that cleansing with affection and praise. God is named as hope, healer, rescuer, and the one who lifts downcast eyes. Later lines acknowledge that trials and darkness may return, yet the Holy Spirit remains the source of lasting peace. The water imagery may recall baptism and the biblical call to have sins washed away, while the movement from an old identity to a renewed one reflects the language of new creation. The closing confession joins belief with witness: God’s goodness becomes the subject of a life devoted to telling what he has done.
