"Like Jesus Does" is a song written by Casey Beathard and Monty Criswell and recorded by American country music artist Eric Church. It was released in January 2013 as the fifth and final single from Church's 2011 album Chief. It was also his eighth consecutive single to be certified gold by the RIAA. It is the one of three songs on any of Church’s albums that he himself is not credited as a writer.
The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which the narrator says that his lover accepts his personality and "loves [him] like Jesus does".
Critical reception
Giving it 3.5 stars out of 5, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country praised the lyrics and "vulnerability", but criticized the "plodding melody".[1]
