Why love

Why do You love me?

It doesn’t make much sense
You’re an almighty God
I’m an ordinary person
Yet You love me

I just don’t think I’m worthy
I’m not all that great
I fail at everything
And I can’t escape sin
Yet You choose me

I don’t give You enough time
I fall asleep during sermons
Get distracted when I pray
And I ignore You
Yet You value our time

We want different things
I want comfort
I want to hold grudges
I want to focus on me
Yet You want my heart

We’re not very compatible
You never give me what I want
You always try to change me
And You never speak to me
Yet You desire me

This love doesn’t make sense
I’ve cursed You
I’ve run away from You
I’ve hated You
Yet You died for me

Why do I love You?

It doesn’t make much sense
You’re something I can’t see
I’m not even sure You exist
Yet I love You

I just don’t think You’re worth it
You’re not what I thought
You expect so much
And You have so many rules
Yet I choose You

I give You so much time
All these church gatherings
Spiritual disciplines
And surrendering my life
Yet I value our time

We want different things
I don’t want to be generous
I don’t want to forgive
I don’t want to build Your kingdom
Yet I want Your heart

We’re not very compatible
I never follow Your commands
I’m not who You want me to be
And I can’t hear You
Yet I desire You

This love doesn’t make sense
You bring hardship
You make me sacrifice
You turn the world against me
Yet I live for You
