My Lover called to me
From the garden
He called
To take a walk with me
In the cool
Of the evening
As dusk dawned
Upon the day
And light turned into night.
And I hid in fear
As You drew near
For I had sinned
Sold my soul for an empty lie
Listening to the demons
Of my mind
Tempting me with fantasies
Binding me to secrecy
From You
And all that You held dear.
Including me.
But still You called in that dear sweet voice
And I could not turn away
As dusk dawned in the light of day
I saw You hung upon a tree
You looked at me and said,
“My child, it had to be this way.”
I cried, “My Lord, Why?”
His reply:
“I’ve pursued you from the day you were born
I’ve loved you from your tiniest form
Not a day has gone by when I did not pray
For you to love Me
In the way I've loved you.
I could not give you up to die
So I exchanged your life for Mine
To draw you ever near to Me
That you may live in victory
No longer hiding, no longer in fear
Be still my child
True love is here.”
My Lover calls to me
From the garden
He calls
To take a walk with me
And dusk will turn
Into a brand new day
As night turns into light.

"He loves you with an everlasting love."
