I know that You love me
but I can't figure out why
what's in it for You
when You listen to me cry
I know that I'm selfish
I think about myself all day
I ask do this for me and that
every time that I pray
then I tell You all my problems
and ask You to take them all away
but then I think why do I even ask
I'll be ungreatful either way
but even though I am ungreatful
You still give me more then I need
so I continue to ask for more
I'm consumed by my own greed
but sometimes I get scared and think
if God quit giving would I quit asking
then would I forget about You
and that Your love is everlasting
how do I react
when I don't get my own way
do I try to turn away from You
or try to push You away
I know I love having You in my life
but do I really even love You
oh, me of little faith
and I'm short on trust too
I know that I'll never love You
the way that I should
and sometimes I wonder
if I would if I could
but You have forgiven me for all that
why? I don't have a clue
how do You still love me
what's in it for You

but I know that You have forgiven me
because You forgave me from before
for the life I once lived
the life I don't want anymore
pride, hate, alcohol, anger, and lust
but I don't even know why
how was I proud
when I just wanted to die
as far back as I can remember
I've always hated sin
I hated it so much
I let it destroy me from within
I hated the way people treat eachother
so I treated people even worse
then I blamed You because
I thought life was just a curse
I used hate Christians
I tried to turn people away from You
I tried to fill them with hate
because that was all that I knew
I don't blame Satan
or anybody else
when You came into my heart
You saved me from myself
and You forgave me for all that
why? I don't have a clue
how do You still love me
what's in it for You

but I know that You forgave me
because You opened up my eyes
You changed my heart
and made me realize
that You are my God
and You have unconditional love
and so I'll sing praises
to the heavens above
now I want to tell the whole world
how awesome you are
there is no one like You
Your the greatest by far
even after all I've said and done
You still spoil me rotten
and when it's time for my death
I know that I wont be forgotten
I know I can never earn Your love
and that I will never ever deserve You
but I ask, dear Lord,
please allow me to serve You


and so I pray:
Please teach me how to forgive
since You have forgiven me
and please teach me how to love
unconditionally
and please teach me not to be selfish
so I can make other people happy
and please allow me to grow closer to You
because that is where I want to be
thank You God
for loving me
