There is a God who loves us…
in our anguish and despair.
He feels our pains;
all things sustains,
and on Him we cast our cares.
There is a God who loves us…
despite our wretched sin,
who suffers long
and makes us strong
enough to battle it and win.
There is a God who loves us…
on that we can rely;
when the world rejects
our calling, elect,
and scoffs at all we try.
There is a God who loves us…
in the morning and in the night
with mercies new
each glistening dew
who, from blindness, gives us sight.
There is a God who loves us…
even when we must strain to find Him;
when trouble drowns
our smiles with frowns
He gives us faith to trust and mind Him.
There is a God who loves us…
when we are broken, scarred, and faint.
So store treasure up;
and drink from His cup
be counted among His saints.
There is a God who loves us…
and He’s the only one
who wounds and heals
and open seals
who comes as Yahweh’s Son.
There is a God who loves us…
who’s not a myth, nor fabled lore,
who died—but then
did rise again
defeating death forevermore.
There is a God who loves us…
in all calamity and toil.
A sparrow, He sees;
and holds the keys
to death and Hades
as a King of Priesthood, royal.
There is a God who loves us…
and mere words cannot convey His grandeur,
because though Deity,
He came as laity—
subjecting Himself to torture, lies, and slander.
There is a God who loves us…
and for Him I’d give my all
to receive His grace;
that He’s made a place.
I will follow at His call!
