Vicki Yohe - I Love The Way Lyrics
Lyrics
You made me a promise
I'm holding on for sure
It's signed and sealed by your word
You're never gonna leave me
In a dark and lonely world
Where silence still yearns to be heard
When I need a friend
To calm the storm within
I hear you speak the words to be still
When I need a shoulder
To rest my weary load
I lean upon the rock of my soul
I love the way you love me
I love the way you love me
I'll never know the reason
Why you care the way you do
I'm perfectly convinced and that's enough
I'm standing in amazement
While I'm running on the faith
Reaching for the prize that's above
Now what a happy day
When we look upon your face
Shining brighter that the sun
No more lonely days only happiness
When I hear you say "well done"
I need you
Lord I really need you
Please hold me
Hold me like a baby.

Because of Who you Are-Vicki Yohe
Meaning & Inspiration
Vicki Yohe's 2008 release, "I Love The Way," found on her album *Because of Who You Are*, offers a profound declaration of unwavering devotion to God, rooted in His inherent nature and actions. While the melody is certainly engaging, the true power of this song lies in its rich theological message, a testament to the transformative impact of experiencing God's love. The narrative woven throughout "I Love The Way" is not merely about personal preference, but a deep, spiritual acknowledgment of God's character as the ultimate source of all goodness and grace. This sentiment echoes the Psalmist's declaration in Psalm 16:2, "I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’" Yohe's expression of love for God stems from a recognition of His faithfulness, even in the face of life's challenges, mirroring the enduring covenant God establishes with His people, as seen in Jeremiah 31:3: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore in steadfast love I draw you near." The song celebrates God's relentless pursuit and unwavering presence, reminding us of His promise in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." "I Love The Way" is more than a song of adoration; it's a theological exploration of God's unchanging love, His redemptive power, and the secure foundation His character provides for believers. It calls listeners to reflect on their own relationship with the Divine, finding joy and strength in the very essence of Who God is, a truth powerfully expressed in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
