I wondered, what his story was, and asked him to explain.
He said, "You are a mother, you have children of your own,
You know your heart would break, if to them, you were unknown.
You know, you'd give your life for them, to keep them safe from harm,
And if they, did not love you, still for them your heart would yearn.
Well, you see I love my children, and I hung on a cross,
Because I love them dearly, for them I paid the cost.
There are some who've never heard, of the life I gave,
They do not know I love them, and their souls I long to save.
Some have drifted far away, never to return,
I want to save them from the fire, that will forever burn,
But, they do not love me, and they do not believe,
In my Father, who sent me, their souls to receive.
Until the day that I return to earth, to claim my own,
My heart will ache in loneliness, 'til my children all come home."
I promised Him, right there and then, that I would do my part,
To spread His name throughout the world, to help heal His aching heart.
And to the ones who don't believe, I'll try and try again,
To help them understand, He is, their Saviour, Lord, and King.
