About the Song
“I Love You This Much” is a heartbreaking song that tells about the narrator’s love for his father. The narrator attempts to express his love to his father even if his father is so distant. He grew up hating his father to the point that he even cursed his father. He had not experienced having a great time with his father even once. Later, his father died. The most heartbreaking part of being a child is seeing your parent’s death without having the chance of telling them how much you love them. During his father’s funeral, he sees an image of Jesus. The image reminded him that he was not unloved and alone.
The moral lesson of this song is that the Lord never forsakes or abandons us in spite of the difficulties we encounter in life. His promise always remains with us. Trust and have faith in the Lord.
