His Love

For years I walked alone,
Not knowing where I was bound,
I wanted a friend to talk to,
One that would stay around.

I met many along the way,
But they had plans of their own.
Everyone, it seemed, had someone,
But I was always alone.

Then I heard a soft voice saying,
"May I walk along with you?"
There beside me stood a stranger
That I felt, somehow, I knew.

We walked in a beautiful garden,
Where we knelt and prayed.
As I walked with Him I felt the love
That He so freely gave.

He told of a place called Heaven,
A city of purest gold.
His stories are all recorded,
They're the greatest ever told.

He said He had to leave me,
But only for a little while.
For the sins of all men,
My friend was cruelly put on trial.

On the cross that innocent man died,
For sins He never committed.
He paid the price, He gave His life,
For mankind to be aquitted.

From that cross came the greatest gift
This world has ever been given.
God gave He only Son to die,
That through Him our sins could be forgiven.
