F.M. Light Country Music Favorites: Eric Church "Like Jesus Does"

While Eric Church didn’t write “Like Jesus Does,” there’s no doubt he has his wife Katherine in mind as he sings.  Church said that:

“True love is when you love a person in spite of all their fallibilities, and I have a lot of them. I’m definitely at times hard to love, and that’s what’s great about Katharine and the way she loves me. She loves me in spite of those things and really for those things.”

That really fits in with the lyrics and tone of this song, which was written by Casey Beathard and Monty Criswell. It’s nice to find country stars that say it like it is. We hope you enjoy this heartfelt song as much as we do!

Lyrics:

I’m a long gone Waylon song on vinyl. I’m a back row sinner at a tent revival. She believes in me like she believes her Bible. She loves me like Jesus does.

I’m a left foot leaning on a souped up Chevy.
I’m a good ole boy drinkin’ whiskey and rye on the levee.
But she carries me when my sins make me heavy.
She loves me like Jesus does.

All the crazy in my dreams,
Both my broken wings,
Every single piece of everything I am.
She knows the man I ain’t,
She forgives me when I can’t.
That devil, man, he don’t stand a chance.
She loves me like Jesus does.
I always thought she’d give up on me oneday.
Wash her hands of me leave me staring down some runway.
But I thank God each night and twice on Sunday
That she loves me like Jesus does.

All the crazy in my dreams,
Both my broken wings,
Every single piece of who I am.
She knows the man I ain’t,
She forgives me when I can’t.
That devil man, he don’t have a prayer.
She loves me like Jesus does.

Yeah she knows the man I ain’t.
She forgives me when I can’t.
That devil, man, he don’t stand a chance.
Cause she loves me like Jesus does.

I’m a long gone Waylon song on vinyl.
