HE WAS MY SON, I LOVED HIM,YET I LOVED
YOU TOO –
By: Tracey Pope Farabee
I
created you for myself and myself alone
I gave you everything and even that was not enough
For after you disobeyed me, life became tough
I continued to love you however,inspire of yourself
I gave you life,companionship and even wealth
I made provisions for you when no else would
I made things happen that no one else could
Even when you made a mess of your life and ignored my directions
When you turned your back on me I still made exceptions
You've lied to me, you've disappointed me, and you've hurt me too
But despite all that I still loved you.
I ask myself the question,"What more must I do to convince this child that my love is true?"
What must I give to prove to you that you mean so very much to me?
I'm trying to understand how hard can it be?
I decided to send my son to you to reveal to you my deep love
He would come with all power from heaven above
He was my one and only, He was my heart
And for Your sake I was willing to depart with my greatest treasure
My son JESUS author of forever
My son was born to redeem the world back into my hands
My son's life was given, just so you could understand what you mean to me
My son bled and died all for you and then He rose again to help see you through
Now that you know the sacrifice I made,don't you even care?
Don't you think I'm deserving of your praise and ownership of your heart?
Do you think it was easy for me to give my only son for you to live?
Take a moment and ask yourself,"if my child had to give up his life for all live...?"
Can you honestly say you would freely give ?
That part of yourself that you helped create and love, being he all that you had?
Don't you see why YOU should be glad!?
He was my son,and I loved Him,yet I loved you too
I asked Him to die so I could see you again and He did...
Isn't He worthy of your respect?
Isn't He worthy of all your praise?
Isn't He worthy of constant worship?
Isn't he worthy of your everything?
You'd better act like you recognize in these days that are coming to an end
You'd better act like you know who I am and learn how to live
Remember He was my son and I loved Him so, and He gave his life just for you...
I loved Him much, the question is Do You?
I gave you everything and even that was not enough
For after you disobeyed me, life became tough
I continued to love you however,inspire of yourself
I gave you life,companionship and even wealth
I made provisions for you when no else would
I made things happen that no one else could
Even when you made a mess of your life and ignored my directions
When you turned your back on me I still made exceptions
You've lied to me, you've disappointed me, and you've hurt me too
