The important thing

by Amanda Sloan   Mar 4, 2004


You modeled me after yourself
Not having any worldly wealth
Just that within your perfect heart
No thought needed, you molded with precision
Descended the earth more perfect than an angel
No crown could fit such an amazing king
You left this world a perfect man
Defeated death, and yet your love never ceased
Never wanting anything for yourself
Even as a man you were sinless
Every piece of you white
Nothing tarnished
You paid so that we didn't have to
Never would anyone surpass your greatness
Born of a virgin
None such as this
Man is foolish to not love you
You who created the heavens and the earth
You tell us not to only love our neighbors but our enemies as well
Every command you've made makes sense to anyone willing to hear
Your voice-perfect
Your heart- perfect
Everything in you is perfect
you are the example of perfection
the example of love
I am shameful to not strive to live such a perfect life
I should at least want to live for you, you who died for me
The perfect one spit upon
You had the pain so i didn't have to
I am blessed to have even heard your name
To be welcomed as your child
One of your own
What a blessed day that will be to be standing at your feet
I didn't have to pay a price for your love
I love because you loved first
No word is great enough for you
My praises to you is all i wish to bring
I had to give nothing but my heart to you
And you gave your life, your perfect life, for a shameful person like me
I cant say enough
And i don't show my gratitude enough
I am so thankful for all you've done
The most important thing in my life
I know I don't say it as much as I should
But here i lay on my face, at your feet
In humility
Your grace Lord, more beautiful than anything
The most important thing
And no, I paid no money, no cost.
He just loves me.
