Forever Relationship
I do love Him because He first loved me
Imprisoned in His compassion, I’m free.
Blessed encounter marked our great meeting
I was only sixteen; faithless, doubting.
With His offered relationship, He came
Reaching down to me midst my sin and shame.
His precious Word gave me love’s assurance
I trusted Him, devoid of arrogance.
His eternal grace draws me near His heart
Forever cleaved to Him; I can’t depart.
Now, I delight in our sweet fellowship
Nurtured by vibrant faith-upheld friendship.
He encloses me within His warm embrace.
And His presence cheers me in this life’s race.
Thus, in our three decades of love-life’s crest
I vow to God* my devotion’s full-best!
*Number 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
