I LOVE THE FATHER (II)

I love the Father for that name of grace

Encapsulates the virtues He displays;

Considering His counsels and His ways

I love the Father who secured a place

For persons such as me before His face.

I love the Father since in all my days

He cares for me; and all His thoughts amaze

The saints whom He enthralls by His embrace.

Since I am marred by fleshliness and sin

He has to chasten me and thwart me till

I love the Father for His discipline.

Since He has worked in patience to instil

His graces in me till they grow within

My heart, I love the Father for His will.
