Those You Love

“Those You Love” is a mellow acoustic song but it has a powerful message. The bible says that God “disciplines the ones He loves”. In other words, He loves us too much to let us continue on a path He knows will hurt us. I’ve turned and gone my own way many times and I thank God that His loving hand brought me back again.

Those You Love- Lyrics

by: Mike Helms

How could I ever be so blind
to think you’d let me walk this way,
I must have been out of my mind
to think you’d let me disobey…

Those You love You discipline
you’ve brought me back again –
and I thank You, Lord!

How could I ever be so proud
to think I had a better plan,
to busy following the crowd
I walked away from your commands

Those You love You discipline
you’ve brought me back again –
and I thank You, Lord!

And all my sin has only proved
how much I have needed You,
I can’t make it on my own-

You have decided that I’ll be
just like You
and I see…
that those You love You discipline

My heart has often gone astray
still You are faithful and You’re true,
Your love has always found a way
to bring me back again to You

Those You love You discipline
you’ve brought me back again –
and I thank You, Lord!
