I love the way you love

You called me out in the midst of plenty
Picked me, singled me out of the crowd,
Called me by name, saying
"I love you, I want you to be mine."
I shrugged my shoulders with disdain
Turned my face around, ignored you
Acting like I didn't hear

You tapped me on the shoulder
Knocked at my heart's door
And whispered into my ear
“I love you, follow me if you want to live”
Again I refused to acknowledge your love
Slammed the door into your face
I turned my back to you

You climbed to the mountaintop
Shouted my name on the top of your voice
Showed your love for me for whole world to see
“I love you, come live an abundant life with me.”
Yet I turned away from you
Hid myself in the deepest cave
Hid myself where nobody could find me

You called me by my name
Found me by my shame
On my heart laid a claim
“I'll find you where you are”
You said as you moved closer
Held me by my hand
And took away all my shame

I was alone with my tears
Unworthy of your love I cried until I couldn't cry anymore
Yet you still found me there
“No matter what you did, I love you anyway.”
You whispered into my ear
Held my hand and pulled me near
You wiped every tear

Oh Lord there's nothing I can say
No words to explain your love
When I turned away from you
You chased me harder
When I turned away your offer,
You gave me more
Oh! How I love the way you love
