Rich in Hope

I think I am presumptuous of the Lord,
more on the whole than worried much about
if He and I are really in accord
or whether our relationship's in doubt.

Such does not come from cool analysis
of all my sins or my true spiritual state,
nor from my good deeds God could quick dismiss,
nor somehow fantisizing I'm so great.

No, most the reason for my fearless trust
is due to all that God has done for me,
already He's dumped on this speck of dust
sufficient love to last eternity.

If God invests so much in one poor dope,
can't spoiled I indulge in my rich hope?
