Dreams were never meant to be nightmares.
Tears were only to be of joy.
Songs were to be just for praise –
Not of sorrow from hearts destroyed.
Giving was never to be restricted
Or limited by the cost.
God was to supposed to be in heaven –
Not on earth and nailed to the cross.
But a choice was made in a garden,
And things were never the same.
Thank God that He is faithful,
And He will never change.
For He loves what He creates –
Even when it turns away.
His heart is to redeem
And give hope to all our days.
We blame God for all our suffering
And wonder where He is in the pain.
Yet where is our gratitude
In all our good and gain?
God, will You forgive us?
We have sinned and hurt Your heart.
Please save us from ourselves.
From You we don’t want to be apart.
For Your Word offers the promise
Of a Good Shepherd Who cannot lie.
Who looked at our rejection of Him
Yet, in love, still chose to die,
To pay the price for all our sin
And give hope for all our days.
Thank You for Your redemptive heart.
May our songs be again for praise!
