Christ's Love For Me

Two more poems from my youth --

Christ's Love For Me

I cannot understand why He
Could love and die for such as me;
I wasn't worthy of His love,
But yet He came from Heaven above
And took my sin and died for me.
I cannot understand why He
Could love and die for such as me.

He carried all my sin away
And now I have no sin today.
I cannot understand why He
Could love and die for such as me.

He gave me faith to live by grace,
So I could see Him face to face;
I cannot understand why He
Could love and die for such as me.

Because Christ's love motivates us, it seems natural that the next poem would be --

Something For Him

I think of what He's done for Jim,
And like to do something for Him.
In my own strength, I can't do aught,
But in His strength -- see what He's wrought!

He'll knead the clay from every wrong,
And make of me a vessel strong
And filled with service to the brim;
I'd like to do something for Him.
