Sidewalk Prophets has followed up its hit single, You Can Have Me, off its stellar debut CD These Simple Truths, with You Love Me Anyway. You Love Me Anyway made its chart debut this week on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart at #44, earning Hot Shot Debut honors and setting the tempo for its quality. Just like previous single You Can Have Me, You Love Me Anyway is an earnest, honest song about how God loves us despite our flaws and imperfections, and how His love can help us achieve the dreams and great aspirations that He’s planted in our hearts Himself. I love it love it love it.

YOU LOVE ME ANYWAY Lyrics
Sidewalk Prophets
The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn’t mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind
Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future’s so far
My heart is so frail
I think I’d rather stay inside
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me
It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?
But You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anyway
See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life
But You love me anyway
Oh, God… how you love me
You love me anyway
It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
You love me, You love me
You love me, You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me
