Small to Great

We’re small in every way except for one,
mere creatures who’ve made nothing on our own,
our lives would count for nothing when we’re done,
but only for the love that God has shown.

This love is not just earthly feelings here,
feelings or not, He gives us love to share,
to share with fellow humans far and near,
His love made even bigger when we care.

God’s giant love makes all our smallness great,
made greater when we love Him back by grace,
and for our love, His heaven our promised fate,
where He will make divine the human race.

Your infinite love, O Lord, takes little me
and gives, for loving You, infinity.
