I Know

Man: Lord, why do You love me, a man who sins and betrays?

I am a terrible example of Your love.

 

Lord: You're the perfect example of why I came from above.

 

Man: How? I've been terrible from the start.

 

Lord: I know.

 

Man: I've given myself to sin many times. I'm not what You are.

 

Lord: I know

 

Man: Sexual immorality, adultery...these are just a few.

 

Lord: I know.

 

Man: Hatred, placing judgement, and many other things too.

 

Lord: I know.

 

Man: So how then, am I the perfect example of love from You?

 

Lord: *places his hand on my shoulder* You only see you, but I see what

you're truly worth.

 

Man: I am worthless.

 

Lord: You are worth more than you know.

 

Man: But my life's a mess.

 

Lord: Your life is a story yet untold, with many more chapters to go.

 

Man: When You chased me, I left.

 

Lord: My patience knows no end. Grace starts off slow.

 

Man: I've cursed, and hated You with things I've done and said.

 

Lord: I've forgiven many for worse. I know.

 

Man: I am pathetic and weak. You should just make me end.

 

Lord: My grace knows no bounds. Come home.

 

Man: Even after all I've said and done?

 

Lord: Forgiveness is for what I'm known.

 

Man: Why do you love me, Lord?! I have no business going above!

 

Lord: Who are you that you speak for God's Son? 

Do you still not see?

I took your sin on myself out of LOVE!

 

Man: But what about everything I've done?!

 

Lord: What have you done? I see nothing except the stain of blood.

 

Man: *looking down at the book of life* You covered it all up...

 

Lord: I know.

 

Man: How can You forgive all of that sin?

 

Lord: Listen close. I'll say it again. With LOVE.

 

Man: I don't deserve it from You.

 

Lord: Grace doesn't work that way. The price has already been paid.

You will see...soon.

 

Man: I believe...i know.

 

Lord: For you, my love will always show.

 

Man: I know.
