Loyal Pain

Your loyalty to me, Lord, brings You pain,
born of mysterious love You have for me,
somehow You’ve ruled for me to heaven gain,
I must for You pierce through this mystery.

Your pain comes from the evilness of sin
against a perfect God Who did create
a universe of good where sin crept in
only a perfect God could expiate.

That perfect God was Your beloved Son,
Who made up for with pain my sore offense,
so He turned out to be the only One,
God pain for God love hurt makes Godly sense.

So I know, Lord, for me to come to You,
I offer up with love my suffering too.
