The Father’s Love
Life here on earth is only for a moment
But you, Oh God, are eternal
Life here is unpredictable
But you, Oh God, never change
You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow
When we have no hope, you are our only Hope
When our lives are in shambles and we find there is no answer
You, Oh God, are the answer
You have promised to supply all of our needs
When the waters crash in around us, it is you, Oh God, who comes to our rescue
Your strong arms reach down and pull us out of the waters of destruction
Your love and mercy for us is unconditional and everlasting
It is the love of a Father for all of His Children
You have known us from the beginning
Knitting each one of us in our mother’s womb perfectly
For you are perfect
You, our Heavenly Father, have made us in your own image
You know each one of us by name
Your faithfulness is higher than any mountaintop
Reaching high above the Heavens
You sent your son, Jesus, into the world to save the world
Not to condemn the world
For you know that we are all imperfect
And that we need Him desperately
For your desire is that none perish
But, for all to come to know this truth
And to receive your gift of eternal life through Him
You said in your Word that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord
And believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead
That you would save us from a life of eternal darkness without you
And yet we have rejected you
You could not love us anymore than you already do
You accept us just as we are
We do not need to “clean” up before we come to you
You, Oh God, will do the cleansing and restore us to new life
And so, you gently knock at the door of our hearts all throughout our lifetime
Up until that very day when we take our final breath
You never give up on anyone of us.
