I Love You Dearly
I'm a merciful God,
Quick to forgive your sin;
I'm also patient
To give you time to repent again.
Some believe I’m strict
About breaking My law;
But I Am Love.
I freely give My grace to all.
I'm just, so I judge,
But I paid, that you might win;
The price cost My Son’s life,
So in My Kingdom, you enter in.
I love the sinner - not the sin.
I discipline those who do;
As a father chastens his child,
So I must too.
A father loves his children,
And wants them to learn;
If they go in the wrong direction,
He'll help them to turn.
Do not think I’m mean -
A God who’s harsh or unkind;
There’s an enemy out there,
So I want to fight for Mine.
I love you, dearly.
Do not think otherwise;
Will you listen to your Father
Or the enemy's lies?
