I and My Father

I was inspired many years ago to write this poem but haven't shared it until now.  It may need a few more verses in order to be complete.

To think that the Lord in Heaven above,
Has chosen me to tell of His love,
Sets me at once to wondering,
How to accomplish such a thing.

How can a sinner such as I,
For whom the Lord had to bleed and die,
Love other sinners, unworthy too,
Not only that, but love like You.

I asked the Master this one day,
When I was full of doubt and dismay,
I said, "Lord, it seems as others know,
As much as me, if not more so",

And then He gently said to me,
"It's not enough just to believe,
That I and My Father in Heaven exist.
You must Us into your heart receive,
And I and My Father will do the rest."
