I see the state of the world and it grieves me
I hear the cries of the broken from the rich and the poor
I smell the fear of disease all around me
I feel responsible now that I see
'Cause we all were born to live for more than this
So I want to love like You love
So I want to love like You love
I've held the children unseen and they move me
I wonder what I can do to improve a thousand lives
I feel the absence of love and it scares me
I feel responsible now that I see
'Cause we all were born to live for more than this
So I want love like You love
Yeah I want love like You love
I was that lost soul that You rescued
I was the orphan You adopted and brought into Your heart
I was acquainted with the hopelessness
Now I'm gonna love like You love
The way You love me, Oh God
I'm gonna forgive like You forgave
And rescue like You have saved
Others, others, others, others, others
You first loved me, that's why I love You
Because You first loved me
