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.
