God Looks For the Best In Me Do You

God Looks For the Best In Me… 
 Do You???

You didn’t want me around,   
when I needed you!
You were filled with anger…  
And didn’t want me with you!

You believed what others said 
about me to be true...
And now...  There's a wide "gap" 
between us two...

Rather than asking for forgiveness
 because of what you believed..
Rumors and gossip is what
 you soon received.

Are you going to love me as a 
Christian brother should?
I think there’s much
That you’ve misunderstood! 

Be careful who you listen to.
  As others often complain...
And especially when they 
  bring up my name.

Walk in the peace and love. 
 And a Godly affection...
So your life isn't filled 
“steered” into the wrong
 direction!

God will give you the victory that 
you need to overcome...
By the blood of the cross
 and the power of his son!

May the work of the cross 
be a "wake up call..."
Being an example of God's grace... 
 To one and all!
