Though full of sin, I still am loved by God,
my sins hurt Him, yet He loves me a lot,
that I keep sinning anyway seems odd,
my sins should end His love, but they do not.
I am commanded to love God the most,
with all my strength and heart and mind and soul,
yet my obedience I cannot boast,
for don't my sins on His love take their toll?
St. Paul says love is patient, love is kind,
in psalms God's merciful, to anger slow.
How long will He to my sins be resigned?
How far can I presume before I know?
God's love will separate my sins from me,
but first my own free choice must set me free.
