this much - kelly nelon thompson lyrics
when i was quite young
i remember among the questions
mom and dad would try
to answer patiently
there was always this one
i’d ask mom just for fun
though i knew the answer well
how much do you love me?
and she’d say…
i love you this much
and she’d pause for just a moment
this much
and she’d emphasize it once again
this much
and she’d give these words their meaning
i love you this much
and she’d stretch her arms wide open then
and smile
now later on in my lifе
before i came to know christ as savior
knowin’ why hе’d care
seemed such a mystery
so i asked him one night
lord, how could this be right
i’ve been so lost, so long
how much could you love me?
and he said…
i love you this much
and he led me to a mountain
this much
and mocking voices filled the air
this much
and they cried out “crucify him”
this much
and he stretched his arms wide open there
and died
and, no, i’ll never understand it
why he paid the price he paid
but, oh, i know he truly loves me
and my heart’s antic*p*ting yet another day
when i’ll hear him say
i love you this much
when he comes to claim his people
this much
and all former things will pass away
this much
and he’ll stretch his arms wide open
this much
and take us to his kingdom on that day
i love you this much
i love you this much
i love you this much
