Let Me Love [Songwriter Demo]: Christian Pop/Worship Ballad

Let Me Love (feat. Larrissa Mundt) [demo]

Talena Winters

For when you want your whole life to look a little more like Jesus.

“Let Me Love” is a simple, heartfelt prayer set to music—to love like Christ with your whole being: heart, mind, and strength. It’s for the moments when you’re painfully aware of your own limits but still want your life to point people to the perfect love of God. It asks God to help you love the lost, cherish His Word, and follow the example of the King who gave everything for love, turning everyday obedience into a beautiful act of worship.

Award-winner!

“Let Me Love” was the First Runner-Up in the Christian category for the Second Quarter 2014 Song of the Year competition, out of more than 10,000 entries. Read the blog post I wrote in October of 2014 when it was selected as a Top 5 Finalist.

• Demo Details

  This mellow, worshipful ballad is singable and easy to pick up, with an AABA structure and a melodic range that feels natural for most congregations and solo vocalists. Beautifully performed here by featured vocalist Larrissa Mundt, it works well as a praise and worship song or a reflective Christian pop piece, and is suited to artist projects, church services, and faith-based media that need a gentle, Christ-like-love-focused prayer.

  This demo is a songwriter recording intended to highlight the song’s potential for artists, worship leaders, and producers. Any commercial release would require a new master recording.

  The underlying song is available for recording and licensing for:

  • Artist and worship releases (albums, EPs, singles)

  • Faith-based media, film, and sync opportunities

• Behind the Song

  This song was inspired by Matthew 22: 37-40, where Jesus sums up the Law and the prophets with two great commandments: Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.

  From a technical standpoint, I was also practicing writing songs using AABA form, and this concept fit that format perfectly.

• Lyrics

  With all my heart, let me love the lost
  Give them my hand, lead them to the cross
  Compassion rule my ev’ry part
  Let me love with all my heart
  Let me love with all my heart.

  With all my mind, let me love the Word
  Take it to those who haven’t heard
  That if you seek, then you will find
  Let me love with all my mind
  Let me love with all my mind. 

  And as I show Your love to man, though I’m weak and flawed
  Let them see, when they look at me, the perfect love of God.

  With all my strength, let me love the King
  Who left his throne, gave up ev’rything
  To show that love goes to any length
  Let me love with all my strength
  Let me love with all my strength.

  And as I show Your love to man, though I’m weak and flawed
  Let them see, when they look at me, the perfect love of God.

  With all my strength, let me love the King
  Who left his throne, gave up ev’rything
  To show that love goes to any length
  Let me love with all my strength
  Let me love with all my strength.
  Let me love with all my heart, my mind and strength.
