Because I Love You

20 October 2001


I love you because tomorrow
will not come soon enough
I love you because
today I have hope and desire

I love you because
I know my Redeemer lives
I love you because
it makes me happy

I love you because
I believe in what can be
I love you because
faith is what I have

I love you because
my desire is to do good
I love you because
I want to and not because I should


“Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation [mercy seat]
through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearanceof God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
Romans 3: 22-26 KJV
