We Matter to God

A confidence as believers
in the words of the scripture
God speaking to us
on what it means to be blessed

Nothing like the way of the world
a complete opposite in fortunes
focused on loving one another
and building up treasures in heaven

We matter to God
of that we can be assured
forgiven of our sin by the lamb
who sacrificed and died for us

“Loving God, hold not our sins against us; but
hold us up against our sins; so that in you we are
reminded, not of our sin, but of your forgiveness,
not just of what we are but what we might become.”

“Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us but
hold us up against our sins so that the thought of You
when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens,
should not remind us of what we have committed but
of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray
but of how You did save us!”
