You love me, even when I am wrong A sinner, frail and weak, in search of a song Reaching out to the joys I sometimes see In hearts who give without condition or plea You love me, and it is such a sweet mystery Knowing that this hope will go down in history For the wonderous inspiration that fulfills Imagination and purpose that enlivens and thrills You love me, in spite of all that I have done To discourage your love, the embrace homespun With my worries, struggles and cynicism All those things that assure my criticism You love me, although I’m not always endearing Leaving me with hope that won’t be disappearing Creating a wellspring of compassion within me That fills me with assurance that I’m finally free You love me, and give me grace everlasting Always securing me so that I never feel contrasting But always know the beauty of my dreams Will hold me in a embrace like the soft sunbeams You love me, calming my worst sorrows and pains Soothing away the trials that leave me in chains Breaking away pieces of anguish that destroys my best Reminding me that I am most assuredly blessed You love me through the troubles and adversities Coloring my ideas with passions and diversities Reflecting on all the faith I have known because of You The Jesus who taught me to give, live and pursue Goodness, acceptance, gentleness and meekness Which come from Him who gives strength in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Non-judgmental eye Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker Re-posted: January 18, 2021
