God is Love

Your love
Unrelenting
Untiring
Where can I run to escape from You? Psalm 139

I couldn't comprehend
But now I do
My heart is filled with Your tender mercy
My eyes are filled with tears
As I now understand

Your love
Is letting go
Is letting us choose
Is risking getting hurt Yourself
Is risking us not choosing You

Like to Adam and Eve you gave freewill Genesis 1-2
Like the father who let the prodigal son go Luke 15

Your love
Unwavering
Pursuing
Through the ages

Finally
You came
Coming down
Pursuing us
Stepped into humanity
Literally

And humbling Yourself
Even unto
Death

Even if we denied You three times John 21
Even if we ran away when You are being captured Mark 14
Even if we persecuted You Acts 9

You came near
Because You love John 3:16
