Song Meaning of “Jesus, How Could You Have Loved Me So” by Rochesters
Verse 1
Jesus, how could you have loved me so?
Such grace and mercy that I could never know
The love of a Savior up high and below
How could you have loved me so?
Chorus
I lay my life at your feet, Lord
Your grace so strong, it’s so complete
My hope and joy, from You I draw
Jesus, how could you have loved me so?
Verse 2
My past life was filled with shame and despair
Coming before You, I know You would care
Your love and forgiveness, I can never compare
How could You have loved me so?
Bridge
Beautiful Savior, You came for me
To reconcile all my sins and bind
Your infinite compassion, to me it rings
Oh Jesus, how could you have loved me so?
