You Had Everything

You Had Everything

(a poem of God’s sorrow for a backsliding child)

How could you leave when you had everything?

When you had Me, on Whom you could always cling?

How could you turn your back on the One Who gave you life?

For now your days are full of much strife.

Can’t you turn around and see,

How much I have given thee?

You were so blessed,

But now you’re in an awful mess.

Oh, please return to Me,

And I will forever make you happy.

I’ll forgive you of your sin,

And a new round we will begin.

I’ll restore unto you the joy of your salvation,

And again be your great inspiration.

Our fellowship we can renew,

But it is entirely up to you.
