GOD CREATED ME
OUT OF TIMELESS HOURS
AND DAYLESS YEARS
FULL KNOWN AT BIRTH WAS EVERY FAULT
YET HE BORN ME STILL
HOW GREAT A LOVE
TO FORGIVE RIGHT FROM THE START
ALL OUTRAGEOUS ACTION
HOW GREAT A LOVE
WHO HAVING SET ME SAIL
SPENDS ALL MY LIFE
AS PILOT TO THE TRIP
BUT THEN IF I AM LOVED BY ANOTHER HUMAN
HOW LIKE UNTO A GOD THEY ARE
THE ONE WHO LOVES ME
WHO GIVES ME IMPORTANCE FAR BEYOND MY WORTH
WHO CALLS ME OUT OF DARKNESS AND MAKES ME GLOW
WHO INTRUDES INTO MY TIME AND GIVES IT MEANING
WHO LOVES ME
KNOWING MY DEFECTS OR PRESUMES THEM
AND LOVES ME STILL
IF I WERE TO MAKE A MONUMENT TO LOVE
NO MARBLE WOULD I USE
BUT I’D LIGHT A CANDLE IN A LONELY PLACE
WHERE MEN WALK SULLEN AND AFRAID
AND SEE THE SHADOWS BECOME LESS FEARFUL
FEEL THE NIGHT BECOME LESS GRIM
SEE A SMILE UPON THE WALKERS
FEEL GOD’S PRESENCE HOVERING IN
