Love Worth

I have my doubts, but You know what I’m worth,
Your love for me is infinite, they say,
You love me, Lord, more than the stars and earth,
except for me, they all will pass away.

I know Your love for me is infinite,
for God is love, so You love infinitely,
the earth is good, You called it good, and yet
not it, but me You give infinity.

What’s there about me makes You love me so?
In me You see Your image and Your face,
but more, I’m free to love You back or no,
and for my love You love me by Your grace.

Because You make me free to love You too,
I’m worth Your heaven for loving You when I do.
