Dear Jesus,
How many times have I cried out,
"Jesus! You're the one I love!"
Yet, today in my mind lurks a thought,
How real, how true is my love?
For my every want and need,
Obstinately claimed Your Fatherly love.
Your voice I'd seldom heed.
Alas! I betray a selfish love.
When alluring pleasures brought delight,
Strayed from Your guiding love
Of my purpose often losing sight.
Alas! I betray an on-off love.
Gave your life as my sin's price,
On the Cross I see Your saving love;
Yet, with my Christian life I compromise.
Alas! I betray an ungrateful love.
Despite my pride, my self-created weaknesses,
In return to my fickle love,
You've been faithful to Your promises;
You surround me with Your unfailing love.
