Yes, God, I Still Love You #1
Yes, God, I still love you
Though my actions may not show
That a deep abiding love
In my heart for you still flows
Please don’t ask me what’s the problem
Why I’m sluggish in my walk
‘Cause I honestly don’t know
And with you I need to talk
In the hope of getting answers
To the anger that’s within
To the bitterness that rooted
And is causing me to sin
God, I know that there are seasons
That evolve in every life
And I know that even Joseph
Had a good amount of strife
Yet, somehow, it makes me question
If my witness is askew
Lord, from something you have purposed
Or from wrong things that I do
Would you help me understand this
So my heart would be at rest
In the knowledge of your purpose
And the promise of your best

Yes, God, I Still Love You #2
Yes, God, I still love you
Though I’m tardy every night
When I come before the throne
And fatigue I often fight
Yes, God, I still love you
Though devotions get curtailed
And, regrettably, the bible reading
Sometimes gets de-railed
So I know how it must grieve you
When I don’t take time to call
When my visits get infrequent
Or they don’t occur at all
Lord, I sometimes wonder
At the similarity
‘Tween my children and myself
When they don’t make time for me
God, I know about the heartache
Of a hostile attitude
And the sting when words are spoken
In a tone that’s very rude
And I know a parent’s love
That forever seeks a bond
Is just waiting to forgive
If the child would just respond

Yes, God, I Still Love You #3
Yes, God, I still love you
Though it doesn’t look that way
Though the pain has stolen joy
And brought bitterness my way
Though I feel like I’m defeated
And I’ve failed beyond belief
As my refuge and my rock
I’m awaiting your relief

Yes, God, I Still Love You #4
Yes, God, I still love you
Though I see no light at all
Though my legs are weak beneath me
And I feel about to fall
Yes, God, I still love you
Through my trial’s darkest night
Ever grateful you have promised
To turn darkness into light

Yes, God, I Still Love You #5
Yes, God, I still love you
Though that isn’t how it looks
As I’m low on church attendance
And I rarely read your book
But despite my lack of focus
You remain my guiding light
You’re the one that I wake up to
And the one I kiss goodnight
You’re the one I laugh and cry with
And converse throughout the day
You’re the lover of my soul
And the one to whom I pray
Father, may this heart of love
And it’s adoring praise
Be catalysts that ‘ere proclaim
Your name and banners raise
