About This Song
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
How amazing and wonderful is it that a God who knows and sees everything can still love us? Enough to even die a torturous death to redeem us! When we are at our worst, and friends or family have given up on us, our loving Heavenly Father still searches for us and longs to bring us home. Not only does He have incredible mercy and compassion for us, but He even knows exactly what we go through.
"Therefore, in all things He (Jesus) had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted." - Hebrews 2:17-18
A God that loves us that much is worth following and giving our lives to. We just want to praise Him continually and thank Him for the mercy and love that He has shown towards us. But the best part is that when we give Him our lives He changes us. Every day we get a little more like Him, and we get the power to live much better lives than we have in the past.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
It is now our purpose to praise the love shown to us by our Heavenly Father and to show others the transformational power of His love in our changed lives. "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." - 2 Corinthians 5:20
Oh loving Heavenly Father, "how You loved us in our darkest days, how You love us despite our ways. For Your mercy we will give You praise, and we will love You for all our days!"
