God's Love

Who trusts me more than myself?
Who loves me more than myself?
No one, absolutely,no one amongst you all!
Except the one holding my life in his hands.

From far and near,he watches over me,
Whispering faithful love to my soul,
Revealing good hope in the time to come,
And so,I cling on to him.

He loves me more than I love myself;
And feels hurt whenever I hurt myself.
He keeps me safe and sound,
And has put a beautiful song in my heart.

What,to show my gratitude,can I do for him?
Life,dime; silver,gold; and all the unsaid;
They are as uncountable as the sands of the shore,
The wonderful doings of my maker!

I am told he desires a clean and respectful heart,
Repentant and kind soul,a spirit that cares;
He gives plenty for free; in fact, everything for free;
Yet,still,I'm not worthy to look him in the eyes.

I am told he hates sinners,and any bad thing is sin;
Stealing,lying,gossiping,idolatry,adultery; name them all.
So,I try to please him,as a child pleases the father
That he may bless me with life and not perishment.

At four,I didn't know how to talk to him,
I didn't know where he stayed except heaven,
But now, I know most of the things, so I pray,
And in prayer,I communicate with my God.

I pray for myself and for others,
Because out there,someone is praying for me;for you!
So,together,we share the blessings of prayer;
Remember! It's never late too late to join us,to talk to him.

Come,let us go before him,with humble souls,
To bow before him and worship him,
To tell it all to him; the burdens and success,
All that we need and desire, for he is all that we need!

Who,do you trust most around here?
Who do you love so dearly here?
I,love and have all my trust in my father and maker,
 Think about this; Where,is your trust,hope and love?
