When you love them like Jesus
Though it's a hard thing to do
When you love them like Jesus
The light of God shines right through
I said these vows the day we married
That I would always love you
Through cold and dark rainy Sundays
And when spring makes everything new
But day after day after day together
The decades they roll on by
I found that love is something you do
Gets better the more you try
And when you love them like Jesus
Though it's a hard thing to do
When you love them like Jesus
The light of God shines right through
Jesus loves the little children
And I admit that I do too
But those precious little angels
Can be devils through and through
And at the end of a long day
Of yelling and fighting and wiping tears
You crawl into bed and thank the good Lord
For giving you all these wonderful years
'Cause when you love them like Jesus
Though it's a hard thing to do
When you love them like Jesus
The light of God shines right through
The Bible says love your neighbor
It's right there in black and white
But God doesn't live on my block
To hear the parties every night
But Grace is not just a cute name
It's what we're supposed to be about
So I'm here to give a shout out
To forgiveness love and light
'Cause when you love them like Jesus
Though it's a hard thing to do
When you love them like Jesus
The light of God shines right through
When you love them like Jesus
Though it's a hard thing to do
When you love them like Jesus
The light of God shines right through
