“I Should Love" . . . A Special Song by Trevor Clements

(A Note from Jerry and Denise)

We recently received an email from someone who had read our book, “The Missing Commandment: Love Yourself,” a long time ago and shared that it was helpful to him in his healing journey.  He mentioned that he had recently come across a “long-lost lyric” that he wrote at that time that was inspired by the truth that came from our book.  He applied it to music and shared it with us and we really liked it!  With his permission, we would like to share it here with you.  To listen, CLICK HERE:  http://bit.ly/4mzFzY9.  The lyrics are included.

"I Should Love"

Written by Trevor Clements, Copyright 2025

Why would I hate

why would I judge

Why would I push someone down

Who God loves and adores so much

[Pre-Chorus]

The commandments in the bible

But I missed it from the start

It got choked out by the thistles

And the rubble in my heart

[Chorus]

I should love, love the one

Looking back at me in the mirror

The one God thinks so highly of

I should love, love the one

Told to love himself like his neighbor

For whom God gave his only Son

I should love, I want to love

[Verse two]

Why would I curse

Why would I strike

Why would I shun God’s own diamond

Who he just can’t take off his eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bridge]

Jesus wore those thorns

And healed my shame

So he could see

A bright smile on my face

[Chorus]
