The Sacrifice
How can it be that people still dismiss,
Our one and only Father from above?
How can they say that He does not exist?
They must be told of His abounding love.
The world must be told that He loves them all,
For if one goes without knowing in life,
They will never know Him who hear their call,
Nothing will ever help them through their strife.
But if we go on and they still don't know,
Nothing will ever change the lives on earth.
Declared His name will be so they can grow,
and always be told how great is thy birth.
For no one loves like the Father or helps us through,
When in need and desperate for Him too.
