Then, Why, Who and Whatever For?!

If we give out of diehard love

And if we live our day to day

The best way that we can think of

If we are careful what we say

…if we don’t waste so we don’t want

And we don’t want more than we need

And if we try to make the most

Of moments as they stilly bleed

…and if we, in our heart of hearts

Believe in what is good and right

And our righteous anger smarts

As we watch greedy more-lords fight

…if we love our neighbor but

Deny God who loves us far more

And in the end miss the reward

Because of who we did it for

If we give out of diehard love

And if we live our day to day

The best way that we can think of

When God asks ‘why’ what will we say?

We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19

Acts 14:15
"Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. 

We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
