My Journey to God

Our Father’s Love

How well do you know
The living Christ
The Lord of creation
Whose breath gives you life
His love for you
Is so profound
It is our meagerness that straps
This immeasurable love bound
We must humble ourselves
To have peace on Earth
Jesus came into our world
Preparing the Earth for rebirth
We are incapable of understanding
God’s vast mysterious ways
So in our human tenderness
We wander and go astray
The complexities of our connectedness
Cannot be seen or touched
It is through God’s miraculous divinity
We are united and lifted up
No one can remove God’s fondness for you
Yet Our Father’s Love we cannot see
Still God personally gives each one of us this gift
And His divine mercy is what sets us free
So when we see misplaced pride in others
May we grow and become aware of our own
For within your heart and within every heart
Is where God desires to be at home
