Excited God

God knows all, but He did it anyway,
He knew our race would hurt Him by our sin,
He rested happy on that seventh day,
excited, He foresaw our love flow in.

Excited by the angels He had made,
by His creative love that He was showing,
the love He proved by coming to our aid,
His Son’s love shown by all His blood outflowing.

Excited by our true love most of all,
the love we give to God because we’re free,
though devastated by our Eden Fall,
it’s all made good to God by love from me.

O Lord, in freely choosing to love You,
by love I want to be excited too.
