This is a really great poem, that shows God's yearning for the sinner to turn back... When I first heard it, it impressed me very deeply, and I thought I just had to share it... I'll be sharing another poem soon, by the same author, which is just as good, and equally inspiring....
1. I loved you long before the time your eyes first saw the day
And everything I've done has been to help you on the way
But you took all that you wanted, then at last you took your leave,
And traded off a Kingdom for the lies that you believed
2. And although you've chosen darkness with its miseries and fears
Although you've gone so far from Me and wasted all those years
Even though My name's been spattered by the mire in which you lie,
I'll take you back this instant, if you'll turn to Me and cry.
I don't care where you've been sleeping, I don't care who's made your bed
I already gave My life to set you free;
There's no sin you could imagine that is stronger than my love,
And it's all yours if you'll come home again to Me.
3. When you come back to your senses and you see who's been to blame,
Remember all the good things that were yours with just My name;
Then don't waste another thought before you change the way you're bound
I'll be running out to meet you if you'll only turn around
I don't care where you've been sleeping, I don't care who's made your bed
I already gave My life to set you free;
There's no sin you could imagine that is stronger than my love,
And it's all yours if you'll come home again to Me.
Don Fransisco
