Foursquare God

The whole of life with God comes down foursquare,
first there is God, and second there is me,
third, that for me God’s love is always there,
the fourth is hard--my love for God is free.

God is a given, for He created all,
and He made me so I’m a given too,
as God loves all, He loves me though I’m small,
but me love God--how do I know I do?

God orders me to love Him so I must,
to love Him means that I obey His law,
and it will pay to love the God I trust,
how can’t I love the God I hold in awe?

The fourth may be the hardest, but I choose
to love God free, or the first three I lose.
