Lyrics
Verse 1
You love me
I'm forsaken all others
'Cause no other love like yours
You have all others
In 99 just to find me
Verse 2
You picked up the pieces
Redeeming my heart again
From broken to wholeness
I come alive you revive me
Chorus
You're always chasing
Still pursuing
And it's never ending
Who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours
Oh how you love me
Verse 3
My heart was underground
And no one could pull me out
There's only one I've found
Risked it all just to rescue me
(And you did Lord)
Chorus
You're always chasing
Still pursuing
And it's never ending
Who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours
Bridge
I wasn't breathing
Heart wasn't beating
Now I can feel it
You loved me back to life
(I wasn't breathing, heart wasn't beating, now I can feel it, you loved me back to life)
Oh when I wasn't breathing
Heart wasn't beating
Now I can feel it
You loved me back to life
Oh when I wasn't breathing
Heart wasn't beating
Now I can feel it
You loved me back to life
Chorus
You're always chasing
Still pursuing
And it's never ending
Who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours
Who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours
Who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours
Outro
Jesus went to Calvary
There's no love
To save a wretch like you and me
There's no love
I'm asking you who has a love like yours
There is no love like yours

Meaning & Inspiration
“Loved Me Back to Life” presents the love of Jesus as pursuing, restoring, and life-giving. Images of a shepherd leaving the ninety-nine, broken pieces becoming whole, and a buried heart being raised all describe rescue from helplessness. The chorus returns to the unmatched character of that love: it continues to seek the lost rather than ending when the person is difficult to reach.
The bridge sharpens the song’s central image by moving from a heart that was not beating to renewed life. That language closely echoes the New Testament description of God making people alive with Christ because of his great love. The closing reference to Calvary identifies the cost of the rescue and places Christ’s self-giving at the center of the song. Together, the sections portray salvation as an act initiated by Jesus, not an achievement of the person being saved. Repetition gives the testimony a worshipful shape, celebrating a love that finds, redeems, revives, and restores.
