You loved me first

You loved me first                                                                                           
 
How could I have ever cared about myself
if You hadn’t loved me first?
 
Ever lifted my head, showed my face;
caught the acceptance in Your gaze?
 
Ever turned away from the interior drama,
if You hadn’t lured me through the door?
 
How could I have ever had faith in myself
until You picked me up, dusted me off,
 
patted me on the back and bid me to follow
on a new, trustful, itinerant path?
 
O Lord, how could I have ever had the courage
to love You had You not so kindly loved me first?
 
O child of God, love Him until every distinction
of time, space and person dissolves.
