He Didn't Have to...

Along the way in life

sometimes new people enter,

but he didn't have to...



My stepdad was there,

and he put food on our table when my mom couldn't,

but he didn't have to...



People come and people go,

but one thing always stays the same

nobody has to...



I don't love this world we live in today,

but I love some of the people in it.

When I lie in bed at night I pray for God to help them

even if it's just a little bit,

but He doesn't have to...



He does so because He chooses to love us even in our sin.

Even when we hate ourselves, He shows us how to love again,

but He doesn't have to...



He loves us so much

He sent His only Son to pay for our sins,

but He didn't have to...



Christ went up on that cross,

and He died so we can live in heaven,

but He didn't have to...

no He didn't have to...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes, you meet those people in your lives that do good just for the sake of doing good, not because they HAD to do it, but because they wanted to do it to help someone who needed it...Christ knew that we'd need all the help He could give, so He gave His very life for us willingly...but He didn't have to.  Remember that the next time you start to lose faith...
