The story behind “Love Me Like I Am” by For King & Country

Story behind the song “Love Me Like I Am”:

“I was sleeping and the phrase ‘Love me Like I Am’ captured me. The following day, we went into a writing session and our producer Josh Kerr added, “It’s amazing that you can, Love me like I am.” It’s a beautiful story to us—the fact that God can love humanity the way He does, and we can love each other the way we do with unconditional love.”

-Joel Smallbone

Related Bible Verse: Ephesians 3:17-19 ESV
”So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Lyrics to “Love Me Like I Am”:

I am a little unstable
Loose wires always getting tangled now
I am a little bit difficult
I can be a little self-critical now
I am a little unable
To put all my cards on the table now
But somehow You're still with me

It's amazing that You can
Love me like I am
And even when I can't
You still love me as I am
Oh, I don't know how You do it
And I know I put You through it
Yeah, it's amazing that You can
Love me like I
Love me like I

Am, ooh
You love me like I
Am, ooh
You love me like I
Am!

I am a little uneven
In need of a little more healing now
Yes, I am
And I feel a little unfixable
You're nothing short of a miracle now
'Cause somehow You're still with me

It's amazing that You can
Love me like I am
And even when I can't
You still love me as I am
Oh, I don't know how You do it
And I know I put You through it
Yeah, it's amazing that You can
Love me like I
Love me like I

Am, ooh
You love me like I
Am, ooh
You love me like I
Am, ooh
You love me like I

It's amazing that You can
Love me like I am
Even when I can't
You still love me as I am

Yeah, I don't know how You do it
And I know I put You through it
It's amazing that You can
Love me like I
Love me like I
I am
