You love still by Aaron Hitchcock
i spit on Your face
every day,
building alters
that disrespect Your Name.
i do the things
that You tell me You despise.
i drive the nails
through Your wrists on that cross,
i’ll take the apple
disregarding its cost.
i just keep failing
and in that i’m cursing Your Name.
but You love me still,
because i’m just a little kid
disrespecting a Father who cares.
You love me still,
because Your grace is sufficient
to give me hope to try again,
even when i didn’t earn it.
i can’t understand that love.
i’m not good enough
but You make me good enough.
i can’t understand that love.
