God respects me
He respects me enough to say hello.
He respects me enough to listen
do I?
do I respect myself like God does?
He respects me enough to say hello.
He respects me enough to listen.
He respects me enough to give me choices
and He respects my choices too-
regardless of their quality.
The Lamb is the sacrifice.
He takes my sins for me.
He approaches
what I never could.
He bridges the gap.
He brings me to Eden.
He reopens the door.
He keeps the door open when I
in my arrogance try to close it try to walk away.
He lets me walk away.
He does not want to restrain me.
He only wants those who want to be there.
He wants to be chosen.
Which means we must make a choice, which means
there must be
Options
Real opportunities to choose
something else.
I choose the Lamb.
Alone in a shack,
with no one else and nothing else in the world,
I will still choose the lamb.
In celebration with friends in a mansion,
With all the jewels and money and family and influence in the world,
I will still choose the lamb.
Help me to keep making that choice.
I want to want You just as
You want to be wanted,
and I want to be wanted.
You let me wonder where I will,
You respect my choices.
You let me wonder where I want,
You respect my choices.
You will let me wander where I wish,
You respect my choices.
You let me wander,
You respect my choices.
when I wander close to You,
when my wandering heart leads me back to You,
You respect my choices.
You respect me.
You respect the gifts You’ve given me.
