My Journey to God

God Reached Out to Us

God Reached Out To Us
God reached out to us through His only begotten Son
Jesus was the conduit through which God’s words were heard
Even though we left the path God intended for us to follow
He found a way for His love to endure even when we wandered.

God Reached Out To Us
In Christ God reached out to us and through Him we learned
That God’s love is beyond comprehension and so immense
We do not deserve God’s love and yet God does not give up
He continues to reach toward us and shows the path to Him.

God Reached Out To Us
God’s love is the kind that reaches out when we fall
To help us rediscover the path that leads us to Him
God wants to walk with us in intimate fashion always guiding us
God reached out to us by sending His only begotten Son to us.

God Reached Out To Us
We are adopted into God’s family receiving the love He lavishes
God showers us with His love through Jesus without any reserve
God reaches out to us and we should reach back through Jesus
Reaching back to God is the path toward growing closer to Him.
