GOD’S FAVORITE CHILD

(Inspired by Steve Mcvey: www.gracewalk.org)

God has a lot of children

And He loves them all, that’s true.

But there’s not a single one of them

That He loves more than you!

God’s looking down from Heaven

With a smile upon His face,

Admiring you, His handiwork,

A product of His Grace.

He’s calling all His angels

And the faithful Saints of old,

“Come here and stand beside Me –

And My lovely child behold.”

They would have never known you

If they’d seen you just before

You heard His gentle whisper

And His knock upon your door.

With child like faith you opened up

And bid Him enter in.

He gave to you HIS righteousness

And took away YOUR sin.

With quiet desperation

And a coldness in your soul

You brought a wounded, broken heart

And let Him make it whole.

You were looking for forgiveness

And a way through Heaven’s door,

That you found, through faith in Him,

But He gave you so much more.

Child, Now it’s time to understand

All the blessings you’ve been given.

His life in you, His goodness, too,

And His power for your living.
