GOD HAS ALWAYS LOVED ME
God has loved me since before time began,
The designer of all things had a great plan,
He had a plan to bring salvation to man,
The day I was reborn even the angels sang.
Rejoicing in heaven took place in heaven,
For I had found my Father and restoration,
It was a gift of love, grace and mercy freely given,
When the blood of Jesus washed me clean.
Like any good Father God gives good gifts to his children,
But that does not mean he does not discipline,
The Christian life has been a training ground for me,
My Father has instructed me to come away and learn of Him.
I am his child and I don't have all the answers,
But I know the one who has all the answers,
So I will spend time in the Word learning of Him,
And spend time in prayer and to his voice listening.
As I grow in wisdom and knowledge I can see,
Without a shadow of doubt he has been faithful to me,
Even when my faith has been weak he has come through for me,
There are times when I turned away, but he was always with me.
So even in the biggest difficulties of this life I need not fear,
For my Lord and my God is always, always near,
He said to cry out to Him in times of trouble and he will rescue me,
So I need not worry, I need not fear though all may seem at sea.
For my God is able to do things thought impossible,
And I bear witness in my life that he has done the incredible,
He has turned bad situations around and truly blessed me,
What he has done for me, he will do for you, can't you see?
You are dearly loved ,and so precious in his sight,
But he wants you to come in faith and view him aright,
Rid yourself of all false perceptions and commit all over to him,
For he wants you to come in faith believing that with Jesus you will win.
Flee from the sin of unbelief in your heart,
Today is a new day, so make a new start,
You can trust in the Lord with your whole heart,
Now and forever your life can be for him set apart.
For He loved you too from before time began,
He even designed for you salvation's plan,
The day you to Jesus the angels rejoiced,
On that wonderful day you were by Father adopted.
He is a good Father who loves you,
He wants to lavish good gifts on you,
Whose report will you believe, the enemies lies?
Or will you believe God will prosper and not harm?
God's report is the one I will believe,
I will trust in him and his provision I will receive,
For my Daddy is good 100% of the time,
An easy road is not promised but he is with me all the time.
There is no need for me to live in fear,
Let today's troubles be sufficient, no worrying about tomorrow,
I will not be anxious because the Lord I know,
Has all things under his control so I have no fear.
