Front Porch Step - I Never Loved Before I Found You Lyrics






Who could love a man like me?
Who would even want to share the air I breathe?
I've been so wild like a dirty rotten dog,
And they should shoot me for the blood drawn with my teeth.

I never loved before I found you.
As if you ever hid from me.
Love is not a word or a soft romantic verse,
Or a soul that's trapped behind computer screens.

And they'll all say I'm not a Christian man.
They'll claim I wrote this song to sell.
If they only knew
About the things that I've gone through
They wouldn't wish I'd burn in hell.

Well I have fought too many times
But I don't think I've ever won.
Swung for the fences.
Wasn't raised to be defenseless
But you learn that you just can't fight everyone

I know they'll always talk about me
But you won't ever see me run.
They can black my eyes,
They can shoot me with a gun
But you'll never kill the man that I've become.

And they'll all say I'm not a Christian man.
They'll claim I wrote this song to sell.
If they only knew
That's exactly what I used to do
And why I still think I should burn in hell.

Who could love a man like me?
The one that gives me air to breathe.
The same one that I have hung upon a cross
Would get down on the ground and wash my feet for me.

    I'm not religious at all, but these songs are still incredible because it's a man pouring his heart out and exposing what got him through life, and if that's religion then so be it. I listen for a singer's honesty, passion and emotion.

    I don't believe in "that one who gives me air to breathe", yet I think these are beautiful thoughts and I love how everyone can have got his own believing, which can be a overwhelming source of energy and the will to go on and let go :)

    btw.. "If they only knew, about the things that I've gone through, they wouldn't wish I'd burn in hell." .. Such a powerful verse

  58. B.... ....

    iloveu:)<3

  59. F.... O....

    I must say im quite dissapointed that we dont get feedback from him while we have been here from the begining. Through ups and downs...

  60. B.... S....

    explain the last part cause you had me till "get down on the ground and wash my feet for me"

    B.... S....

    Brittney Staples Im pretty sure that he is talking about Christ

    B.... S....

    Brittney Staples it's a reference to Jesus Christ. In his time washing the feet of another was a sign of respect and selflessness. he's probably referring to the story of Jesus washing the feet of a prostitute

    B.... S....

    Brittney Staples Before Jesus was to be crucified he washed the feet of all his disciples. Including Judas who he knew would betray him. He loved Judas just like he loved Barrabas (the guilty prisoner that the Pharisees/priests had Pilate release instead of Innocent Jesus).
    I am Judas. I am Barrabas. Disgusting betrayer of a Holy and righteous God. But Because of his Love for me, Jesus was slaughtered on a cross to save me from my own destruction. He drank down the wrath that I deserve. "The same one that I have hung upon a cross, would get down on the ground and wash my feet for me." He died knowing I would betray him time and time again. But still he loves me and because of his sacrifice, I am free of all guilt and shame. He took all of it upon himself and has made me clean.

    I suggest reading the book of Matthew in the Bible. I prefer ESV or NIV translations.

    Hope this helps explain

  61. I.... O....

    New Front Porch Step music 😫👌

  62. B.... I....

    This is the only song I've listened to that actually has the comments shown

  63. F.... R....

    I don't understand why people judge his music off of his past. Jake is an amazing artist no matter what. His music played a big part in my life and I will forever be grateful to a man who I have never met. Stay strong Jake! I support you no matter what.

  64. R.... ....

    Exactly how I feel..

  65. E.... ....

    Man, this song hurts my heart. Regardless of what anyone has done/gone through, forgiveness is always an option. After dealing with a failed relationship that I thought would work out and feeling like I'll never find love, hearing the end of this song brought me to tears. Ultimately, the Lord's love for me is more powerful and important than any other girl's satisfaction. Thank you for this song.

    E.... ....

    Dude you literally just wrote my story

  66. E.... C....

    soo beautiful

  67. J.... A....

    Keep your eyes fixed above man... I think the recent songs have been amazing and beautifully honest. You've got people praying for you and wishing you only the best. Don't forget that! Our sins are only stories of god's grace to be told

    J.... A....

    Anonymous P the beautiful thing about God is he offers us the freedom to choose to love him or not. Don't close your mind completely, maybe give Him a chance. We're all entitled to believe what we'd like to and I choose to believe we are all created and loved.

    J.... A....

    He's never done anything for me. If he was up there tell me why would he let all this shit that's happening in the world happen?

  68. D.... B....

    Your beautiful voice comforts me ❤️
