Reaching for Us

God, reaching out,
reaching for us
for our hearts, our lives
for us to turn to him
to him alone
to follow his will
reaching for us, arms open wide
for when we choose him.
This is the story of the book
the word, the holy scriptures
a loving father, a servant son
offering all for us
reaching through their words
the acts of sacrifice
temper held back
wrath spared
wanting us to come home
