lyrics version 1
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, I know it’s true [x2]
You’re not getting any younger and time moves on
Stop standing in the shadows, start looking for the son
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Yes he really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
Well think about the day we met, for so long I said that prayer
Then you finally bowed your head, sitting in my kitchen chair
And once you walked where Jesus walked, but now you’ve run away
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, you know it’s true
He really loves you, heaven high above you
He really loves you, you know it’s true
If you don’t die once you’re gonna die twice
Obedience is better than sacrifice
He really loves you, yes he really loves you [x2]
Oh I had a vision near Otsego Gate
I saw you in Sud San Duphaey
Unborn children weep and wait
For that resurrection day
The saviour sits in heaven and he’s calling out your name
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, I know it’s true
He really loves you, heaven high above you
He really loves you, I know it’s true
Well I love you my brother so heed this well
If you want to go to heaven you've got to get past hell
He really loves you, yes he really loves you [x2]
When are you gonna cross that line, when are you gonna love him
When are you gonna make up your mind, when are you gonna love him, love him
Cross that line, ‘cause he crossed that line for you
Cross that line, and if you do the son will shine on you
Yes he will
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (He really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Yes he really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Bom bom bom bom bom bom) [x2]
Stay away from that girl (When are you gonna cross that line)
She’s the queen of the rodeo (When are you gonna love him)
La la la la la la (When are you gonna cross that line)
Now you’re laying on that sandy beach (La la la la la na la la)
Thinking ‘bout your thinning hair (When are you gonna love him)
I love you (When are you gonna cross that line)
He loves you [x4] (When are you gonna love him)
La la la la na la
He loves you [x5] (When are you gonna cross that line)
(When are you gonna love him)
La la na la
He loves you [x5] (When are you gonna cross that line)

He loves you [x5] (When are you gonna cross that line)
He loves you [x5] Da ba da ba duh boo
He really loves you, I know it’s true [x2]
You’re not getting any younger and time moves on
Stop standing in the shadows, start looking for the son
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Yes he really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
