Love Without Keeping Score

[Verse 1]
Marriage was never meant to be
A battlefield of silent hearts,
Where love is given as a prize
Or taken back when we've been hurt.
A hand once reached for tenderness,
A heart once opened wide,
But walls can rise so quietly
And leave two souls apart inside.
[Pre-Chorus]
Have we forgotten how to say,
“I see you, and I’m here”?
Have we traded love for keeping score,
And let resentment rule our hearts?
[Chorus]
Teach us to love without keeping score,
To give instead of taking more.
To speak with grace, to choose respect,
To hold each other when we’re wrecked.
No more withholding, no more games,
No love disguised as hurt or blame.
Lord, turn our hearts to You once more—
Teach us to love without keeping score.
[Verse 2]
For intimacy is more than words,
More than a moment in the night;
It’s saying, “Thank you, I see you,”
It’s choosing kindness, choosing life.
It’s laughter shared, a gentle touch,
A smile that says, “You still belong.”
It’s listening when the other hurts,
And choosing grace when things go wrong.
[Pre-Chorus]
But love can never be by force,
And wounds cannot be pushed away.
So give us patience for the healing,
And wisdom for the road we take.
[Chorus]
Teach us to love without keeping score,
To give instead of taking more.
To speak with grace, to choose respect,
To hold each other when we’re wrecked.
No more withholding, no more games,
No love disguised as hurt or blame.
Lord, turn our hearts to You once more—
Teach us to love without keeping score.
[Bridge]
“Lord, I have hurt the one I love.
I’ve built a wall where there should be trust.
Forgive my heart, restore what’s broken;
Teach me again the love You’ve spoken.”
And then, “I’m sorry.
I want to change.
I’ll walk beside you
Through the joy and pain.”
One little kindness,
One gentle word,
One hand reaching
Where silence once hurt.
[Final Chorus]
Teach us to love without keeping score,
To open every guarded door.
To give with grace, to heal with time,
To let Your mercy reshape our lives.
No more withholding, no more games,
No love disguised as hurt or blame.
Lord, turn our hearts to You once more—
Teach us to love without keeping score.
[Outro]
Not, “What can I get from you?”
But, “How can I faithfully love you?”
Not keeping score,
Not holding back—
But grace rebuilding
What the years have cracked.
Lord, turn our hearts to You once more—
Teach us to love without keeping score.
