"I Love You"

I love you
That's all I came to say
That's why I agreed to die
To die on the cross for you

I love you
Though many times you don't realize it
I reach out for you each moment
Trying to catch your attention

Why don't you see me?
I am calling
Your heart hears me
But your head says "no"

"It can't be God"
Your thinking says.
"God doesn't love me"
You say again and again

But the holes in my hands,
And the hole in my side
Tell a different tale

My heart bleeds
It bleeds when you hurt
Because I love you so

I love you
Nothing can change that
There's nothing you can do
That tampers with my love for you

I love you
Turn around and see
I am here with open arms
To carry you to where I am.


But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
 - Romans 5:8 (AMP)

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord
 - Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)
 
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.
 - John 3:16-18 (MESSAGE)
