Song by Dottie Rambo "If That Isn't Love"


                                                                                                                                                   




 

Why do You keep loving me, Lord,

when I am so selfish and vain?

How can you keep forgiving me,

when I fail You again and again?

Lord, why do You spend so much time on

me ~ tho' sometimes I'm unfaithful to You?

How do You look beyond my faults,

to touch that small part that's still true?

Oh ~ why do You wait with open'd arms,

when I choose to go my own way:

Waiting 'til I exhaust all human means,

and, see just where I've gone astray?

How can I be so important to You,

that You would send angels to tend;

Even when I know not they're here,

as balm from the heart of a friend?

Just how can You have so much patience

with me, when I should have grown more

by now; teaching same lessons time after

time, that seem to evade me somehow?

And, how does Your Grace continue to

flow, covering my guilt and my shame;

When I fall so short of Your glory and

seem to besmirch Your dear name?

Why did You choose this rebellious child,

who must be more trouble than worth;

When others I see seem much better prepared,

to accomplish Your purpose on earth?

Oh ~ dear Lord, it's all such a great

mystery, how You still want me for Your own;

All I can say is " Father, I'll keep trying,

'til I can know You as I'm known!

Thank you and God bless you!

For now we see through a glass darkly;

but then face to face. Now I know in

part; but then shall I know even as I

am known. And now abideth faith,

hope and charity, these three; but

the greatest of these is charity.

I Corinthians 13:12~13

Our precious  Father God,  we  thank You
for  loving us with unconditional  love and
for  teaching  us  to give this same kind of
love  to  others.    Love and Forgiveness are
married to one another and thank you for
for  showing us  that  it is impossible to
have  the one without the other.   They
fit together  as  hand and  glove.
Praise  You,  our beloved  Father!
