Who Are You?

Who are You, God, that You should think of me?
Who am I, God, that I’m so loved by You?
You started this when you called me to be,
and when You beckoned me to love You too.

Your Church has taught me that You I should know,
that’s why You made it--to convert my heart,
it taught me more, so that my faith would grow,
now You expect me here to do my part.

Only great love could call me into being,
I must respond to Your great love’s allure,
help me give up my sinning and my fleeing,
so my love’s pure, though little and so poor.

For how much I can take You give Your all,
and I’ll love You more even than Your call.
