Still You

I was an enemy
Still You died for me

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I was a sinner
Still You forgave me

Psalm 32:5 (NKJV) I acknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I have not hidden.  I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

 I walked away
Still You remain faithful

2 Timothy 2:13(NKJV) If we are faithless, He remains faithful;He cannot deny Himself.

I make myself busy
Still You wait patiently

 Isaiah 30:18 (NKJV) Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

I let go
Still You hold on

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I am imperfect
Still You see me as righteous

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

I act selfish at times

Still You bless me.

 

1 Corinthians 2:9  But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
