Why can't I get that God loves me?
My dear friend, by all stars above
Though I know you care,
Something seems missing
What song born for my voice to sing?
All of this misapprehension's just sin,
I know that you and God want me to win,
There's nothing that you wouldn't share,
I've access to all of your love,
Your banquet's free and prepared lovingly.
But sometimes when we are apart
I find myself doubting the heart
Though nothing has changed,
Just lives rearranged,
Our future, God's plan from the start.
Predictable change that has its own joy
Random diversions, a mere moment's toy,
These challenges dealt with and soon,
Not like someone moved to the moon
For deep inside we both know I'm your boy.
Perhaps what I'm missing's my worth
My spirit still tied to this earth
I work out in gym,
But Love is just Him
Where effort fails, He offers mirth.
Seems like my God's richest blessing's my doubt
Pushing me always to just seek Him out.
It's hard to think that this is wrong:
Might His heart be my heartfelt song?
Grace be the tombstone of spiritual drought?
