I never knew the Father's love
Until I met the Son
I thought of Him as distanced
Knowing not He loved everyone
It wasn't until I heard His Word
That I began to see
His love was placed within a Man
Who went to Calvary
Not distanced now I nearer drew
He drew me closer in
I recognized my sinful self
And saw the sinless Him
I did not want to escape at all
But didn't know the way
Until the Spirit took the Word
And made it clear one day
There, there I was
Needing His Salvation
I was wondering what to do
Almost in exasperation
But when I prayed dear Father in Heaven
I really want to know
His Word brought enlightenment
To my soul
