God's Free to Love

Some people think God loves us equally,
but He can separate the goats and sheep,
God loves yet judges us, for God is free,
He loves us more His word and law we keep.

God loves our love, not unrequited love,
without His love, we wouldn’t be alive,
He loves us more when we look to above,
He wants us to desire Him and to strive.

God’s foolishness is wiser than our way,
He’s not bound by our principle or fad,
He does not follow what we do or say,
God’s free to see our reasoning as bad.

You left Your word and Church to tell what’s true,
let me obey, O Lord, not me, but You.
