THE HEART (BEAT) BEHIND THE SONG
Loving Like Heaven
Some people come into our lives for a season. Others leave a mark that changes the direction of our lives forever.
When I wrote She Loves Like Heaven, I was certainly writing about Misty. She inspires me, and so many of the lyrics come directly from watching the way she lives her faith every single day.
She wakes up before the world does, pours herself a cup of coffee, opens her devotional, and spends time with God before she gives herself to anything else.
She prays over every meal.
She gives faithfully, even when giving requires sacrifice.
She worships with complete abandon, hands raised, eyes closed, never worrying about who's watching.
She lives her faith.
Not perfectly.
Just genuinely.
Watching that has changed me. Not because she asked me to become someone different, but because the way she loves makes me want to become someone better.
That realization made me think about something much bigger than romance. Throughout the Bible, God often works through people.
Sometimes He speaks through prophets.
Sometimes through friends.
Sometimes through complete strangers.
Sometimes through a spouse.
The people God places in our lives often become living reminders of His own character.
They encourage us when we're discouraged; correct us when we're drifting; love us when we feel unlovable.
They quietly point us back toward Him.
Paul wrote,
"Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." (1 Corinthians 11:1)
Those words fascinate me.
Paul wasn't asking people to worship him. He was simply saying,
"If my life points you closer to Jesus... follow that."
That's exactly what this song celebrates.
Not perfect people.
People whose lives quietly reflect Christ.
The chorus says,
"She loves like Heaven..."
That doesn't mean she loves perfectly. Only Jesus loved perfectly. It means the love she gives carries something familiar.
Grace.
Kindness.
Patience.
Forgiveness.
Joy.
Hope.
The kind of love that reminds us where it came from.
Jesus told His disciples,
"By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35)
That kind of love stands out.
It doesn't demand attention.
It doesn't keep score.
It doesn't exist only when life is easy.
It remains steady.
Faithful.
Sacrificial.
Whether it's found in a husband, a wife, a lifelong friend, a mentor, a parent, or someone
God places in our path for only a short season, those relationships become gifts.
Not because they replace God.
But because they help us see Him more clearly.
Misty has been that gift in my life.
Her faith has challenged mine.
Her joy has lifted mine.
Her love has reminded me what God's love looks like lived out in ordinary moments.
That's why the bridge says,
"Maybe He sent her... I'm startin' to see...
Got a little bit of Heaven in the way she loves me."
I don't believe every relationship is orchestrated for romance, but I do believe God places people in our lives who help shape us into the people He created us to become.
If we'll pay attention...
those people often become some of His greatest blessings.

Live It Out
-
Thank someone who has strengthened your walk with Christ. Tell them specifically how God has used them to shape your faith.
-
Read John 13:34–35 and ask God to help your love for others become a reflection of His love for you.
-
Spend intentional time this week encouraging someone who may need hope, prayer, or simply to know they're seen and valued.
-
Identify one quality you admire in a spiritually mature believer, then intentionally practice that quality throughout the week.
-
Begin each morning by praying, "Lord, let the way I love others point them to You more than to me."
-
Before going to bed each evening, reflect on one interaction from your day and ask yourself, "Did my words and actions help someone experience the love of Christ today?"
Lyrics:
Undeniable
JC Lahoe
Verse 1
I’ve been running from what I know
Down roads I said I wouldn’t go
Say I’m fine, don’t need no help
But I can’t outrun myself
Living loud just to drown it out
Laugh it off when I feel that doubt
Tell myself I’m doing okay
While something in me slips away
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know why I keep running away
From a love that won’t let me escape
Chorus
Undeniable, I feel it in my bones
Every road without it don’t feel like home
Inescapable, I don’t know how
In the darkness Your love keeps calling out
Yeah it pulls me close when I drift too far
When I’m falling back into my scars
Yeah Your love is undeniable
Verse 2
I’ve been hitting walls I made
Calling out but I’m too afraid
Say I’m fine, but I ain’t that strong
Something tells me I’ve been wrong
Felt that peace I can’t explain
Show up right in the middle of pain
Every time I lose my way
Something pulls me back again
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know why I keep running away
From a love that won’t let me escape
Chorus
Undeniable, I feel it in my bones
Every road without it don’t feel like home
Inescapable, I don’t know how
In the darkness Your love keeps calling out
Yeah it pulls me close when I drift too far
When I’m falling back into my scars
Yeah Your love is undeniable
Bridge
Maybe I don’t have it all figured out
But I feel it breaking me down
Ain’t no running from it now
Something in me’s giving out
Call it truth or something divine
All I know is it ain’t a lie
One day I’ll face it eye to eye
And I won’t be able to deny
Final Chorus
Undeniable, I feel it in my bones
Every road without it don’t feel like home
Inescapable, I don’t know how
In the darkness Your love keeps calling out
Yeah it pulls me close when I drift too far
When I’m falling back into my scars
Yeah Your love is undeniable
Outro
Yeah Your love is undeniable…
I feel it every time I let it show…
Every road without it ain’t home…
Yeah Your love is undeniable…
