Fall In Love With Me

Daughter, your Father heard your prayers,
Asking for the love of your life;
You touched My heart as you cried
Your desire to be mother and wife.

Son, I remembered your prayers,
For a woman to fall in love with you;
I know this is what you desire the most...
To love, and be loved too.

My children, I love you all so deeply.
I'm delighted to give what you pray;
Because your joy means everything to Me,
But there's something I must say…

I need you to get to know Me first...
To seek Me with all your heart;
I promise to give you someone to love,
But to love Me is where you start.

I want my children to know their Dad...
To know the One who died for them;
Know the One who loves you most -
Fall in love with Him.

I don't want to give you away
Before a relationship could be made;
I'm a Father who needs His child's love,
Before I give what you prayed.

Let Me have you all to Myself...
Just for a little while;
I’ve waited so long for you to find Me,
And now have reasons to smile.

Before the union of you and your love,
I must work in you for change;
As you grow more like Christ,
Your meeting will be arranged.

Please don't ever drift away,
And love them more than Me;
But if you do, I'll still be here.
Your best friend, I’ll always be.
