I and My Father

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."
