God Loves You

When are we ever going to learn?
Every emotion or thought God can discern.
There’s no point in hiding
Through secrets or lying.
He knows where we’re going before we turn.

He does this purely out of love.
For that’s what a Good Shepherd does.
He’s a watchful eye
Each day and each night.
He’s a constant light shining from above.

But we won’t see it if we don’t’ believe
Even though He is exactly what we need.
For who’s hiding in darkness
Is evil and heartless
Isn’t greater than the Truth that sets us free. 

Thankfully, God is a patient Lord.
Whose desire is to forgive and restore.
He wipes away our tears
And conquers our fears.
We are His creations whom He adores.

He’s always seeking to save the lost.
His method is through a rugged cross.
His blood that was spilled
When He was killed
Was the payment to all our sin’s cost.

He rose again even if we don’t believe.
We can’t see air, but it is what we breathe.
He’s standing at our shores
And knocking at our doors
With the greatest gift we can receive.

His love is faithful throughout eternity.
Backed by a promise to meet every need.
We can let go of our pride
Because He can’t lie.
He lifts the veil to the blind so we can see. 

We can love Him for He loved us first.
He gives living water to all who thirst.
He is eternal hope
Whom He calls His own,
We become blessings - no longer a curse.

He is the way the life and the truth.
He forgives the past and makes things new.
All our guilt and our shame
Will go up in flames
By the burning love He has for me and you.

So, are you weary of this life’s race?
Will you receive God’s amazing grace?
The ball’s in your court
To be hated or adored.
His arms are open wide ready to embrace.
