Why does God love me more than sinless birds?
With no free will, they give Him no offense.
With no free will, they say no loving words,
and that to God makes all the difference.
God wants my love free more than anything,
and for it He has paid great love to me,
and promises me yet more love to bring,
but to accept or not I still am free.
Though He's commanded me to love Him too,
and also love my neighbor, friend and foe,
and to obey His law in what I do,
He still has left me room to whisper, "No".
O God, You finally freely give me heaven,
if I bring You a love that's freely given.
