The Belonging Co - Love Like This Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh the wonder of Your love
Leaves me speechless, undone
Oh the mystery of Your grace
That it covers my mistakes
In awe of You, I’m in awe of You
I’ve never known love like this
So beautiful
I’ll never get used to this
My heart is Yours
Of this I am convinced
From now until the end
I’ll never know love like this
So beautiful
When I think of what You’ve done
Every sin You’ve overcome
That You would do it all again
I will never comprehend
In awe of You, I’m in awe of You
You don’t leave me where You found me
Pull me up out of the mess
You don’t leave me brokenhearted
Never break Your promises
You keep giving second chances
Far above what I deserve
You keep telling me I’m worth it
Not a love I have to earn

Meaning & Inspiration
"Love Like This," featured on The Belonging Co.'s 2019 album *Awe + Wonder*, offers a profound exploration of divine affection, a love that transcends human understanding and experience. The song artfully captures the overwhelming sense of awe that arises from contemplating the boundless nature of God's love, a sentiment deeply rooted in biblical truths. The lyrics open with a powerful acknowledgment of this wonder, a feeling so profound it leaves the singer "speechless, undone." This reflects the prophetic lament in Isaiah 6:5 where Isaiah, encountering the glory of God, cries out, "Woe is me! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!" The subsequent lines delve into the mystery of grace, specifically its capacity to "cover my mistakes." This resonates powerfully with passages like 1 Peter 2:24, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." The repeated refrain, "I’ve never known love like this," and the declaration that this love is "so beautiful" and one "I’ll never get used to" speaks to a transformative encounter, an ongoing revelation of God's unfailing goodness.
The song’s narrative progresses to reflect on the redemptive work of Christ, acknowledging that He has "every sin overcome" and that the sheer magnitude of His sacrifice, even to the point of being willing to "do it all again," remains beyond human comprehension. This echoes the sentiment in Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The lyrics beautifully articulate the assurance found in God's relentless pursuit and restoration, stating, "You don’t leave me where You found me," and instead, "pull me up out of the mess." This aligns with the promise found in Psalm 18:16, "He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of deep waters." The verses also highlight the constancy of God's faithfulness, noting that He "never break Your promises" and continually offers "second chances." This theme is a cornerstone of biblical teaching, as exemplified by Lamentations 3:22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The song culminates in the liberating truth that this divine love is not something to be earned, but rather a gift, stating, "Not a love I have to earn." This directly contradicts any notion of salvation by works and instead points to the unmerited favor described in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." "Love Like This" serves as a powerful anthem of gratitude and surrender, a musical testament to the incomparable and transformative power of God’s love, urging listeners to embrace its beauty and allow it to reshape their lives.
