Lyrics
Old things passed away
Your love has stayed the same
Your constant grace remains the cornerstone
Things that we thought were dead
Are breathing in life again
You cause Your son to shine on darkest nights
For all that You've done
We will pour out our love
This will be our anthem song
Jesus we love You
Oh How we love You
You are the one our hearts adore
The hopeless have found their hope
The orphans now have a home
All that was lost has found it's place in You
You lift our weary head
You make us strong instead
You took these rags and made us beautiful
For all that You've done
We will pour out our love
This will be our anthem song
Jesus we love You
Oh How we love You
You are the one our hearts adore
Jesus we love You
Oh How we love You
You are the one our hearts adore
Our hearts adore, Our hearts adore
Jesus we love You
Oh How we love You
You are the one our hearts adore

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus We Love You is an anthem of adoration built on the contrast between former loss and renewed life. Its opening images describe old things passing away, grace remaining firm, and what seemed dead breathing again. Hope for the hopeless, a home for orphans, strength for the weary, and beauty replacing rags all portray Christ’s love as restorative rather than merely sentimental.
The chorus answers those acts of grace with affection and worship. Love for Jesus is presented as a response to what he has done, closely matching the biblical pattern that love begins with God’s prior love. The cornerstone image also suggests stability: changing circumstances do not displace the grace on which the song rests. By returning to the declaration that Jesus is the one adored, the song keeps gratitude centered on Christ. Its language moves from renewal to praise, making worship the fitting response to hope recovered, belonging received, and weakness transformed by enduring grace.
