Still You Love Me
You knew that I’d turn
my back against You,
choosing my foolish ways
that seem to be so wise in
my blinded blurry sight.
You knew that I’d turn down
Your invitation, that I’d turn away
from Your ways that are boundless in love.
You knew that I’d choose
temporary things over that
which lasts. You knew that I’d choose
to do the things that brought pleasure
to me but slowly destroying me while still
distracted by worldly things.
Hazy vision.
Still You Love me.
In the midst of all Your creation,
I am on Your mind and You chose me.
From the limitless horizon of the sky,
to the breathtaking waves of the oceans,
to the boundless of the galaxy, somehow
I am found in Your story.
With all these wonders,
still You know the exact number of hair on my head.
You know me through and through,
from inside out, knowing all my motives,
before I can even perceive any of them,
Still You love me.
You knew that I would turn away from You,
still You Love me.
You knew that I would choose my own way,
still You love me.
Your love has broken my yoke,
Your love has brought me back to life,
Your love has shown me what sacrifice is,
Your love keeps on leading me,
Your love holds me tight,
and I am found in the most beautiful story ever written,
a story that turned the world upside down,
a story in Words that breaths life,
a story not like any other story,
a story that carries miracles within.
A love story beyond the unexpected,
a lovely story through which You laid down Your life
so I could find mine.
Still You Love Me.
