As If...

As if somehow you owed us more

Than you've already given

Some dare to curse and shake a fist

At God of earth and heav'n

As if somehow we did not have

Our utmost need supplied;

Redemption from the curse of sin

Through pardon You provide

As if this world should reconcile

Our logic, some deny

Because of Love misunderstood

You, God of earth and sky

As if we didn't owe to You

All heart, soul, strength and mind

Some spend a lifetime looking for

Something they cannot find

John 3:16-18

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and onlye Son, 

that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, 

but to save the world through Him. 

18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, 

but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,

 because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
