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.
