Lyrics
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
Yeah, in spite of me
In spite of me
I don't cross every T
I don't dot every I
I've got more flaws than a little
And I messed up a thousand times
I don't always commit
Sometimes I give up way too quick
And then I get tired of trying
To run away from who I am to who I want to be
Somedays are better than others
I can be up then I'm down
But beyond my mistakes
I'm found in your grace
And this one thing will never change
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
Oh, in spite of me
In spite of me
I'm stubborn at heart
Quick to put up a guard
Do it all by myself
I won't ask for help
But sometimes my mouth is smart
I can be insecure
Counting other people's blessings
I never stop to notice what I got
Some days are better than others
I can be up then I'm down
But beyond my mistakes
I'm found in your grace
And this one thing will never change
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)
Can I get a witness? (yeah)
You didn't give me what I deserve (yeah)
Love so relentless (yeah)
Got me singing Hallelujah (yeah)
Can I get a witness? (yeah)
You didn't give what I deserve (yeah)
Love so relentless (yeah)
Got me singing
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
Oh, in spite of me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you still choose me
It's hard to believe
Oh, you have a choice
Oh, and daily You still choose me
(Never give up on you)
It's hard to believe (never give up on you)
You have a choice (never give up on you)
And daily you choose me (never give up on you)
(Never give up on you)
It's hard to believe (never give up on me)
You have a choice (never give up on me)
And daily you choose me (never give up on me)
You still love me in spite of me?
You still chose me, how can it be?
Every scar, every flaw
You see it all, you see it all
You still love me, love me
Yeah, in spite of me
In spite of me
In spite of me
In spite of me
It's so hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
It's hard to believe
You have a choice
And daily you choose me
Never gave up on me
Never gave up on me
Never gave up on me
Never gave up on
Never gave up on
Never gave up on me
Never gave up on
Never gave up on
Never gave up on me
Never gave up on
Never gave up on
Never gave up on me

Meaning & Inspiration
In Spite of Me centers on the contrast between human inconsistency and divine grace. The verses name failures without disguise: abandoned commitments, insecurity, self-reliance, comparison, and repeated mistakes. Against that honest inventory, the chorus returns to one stable claim: God continues to love and choose the flawed person He fully sees. The result is neither denial of sin nor confidence in personal merit, but gratitude for mercy that exceeds what is deserved.
The repeated witness responses and hallelujah turn private confession into communal praise. Later lines about never being abandoned reinforce the constancy of that mercy even when progress feels uneven. The song closely echoes biblical accounts of God loving sinners and making them alive by grace rather than rewarding flawless conduct. Its central tension remains compelling throughout: the singer knows every scar and flaw is visible, yet grace still provides identity, acceptance, and a reason to praise.
