| IOUs |
Think life owes you something That your life has not been fair? Because no matter where you look Things are better 'over there' ? Well, before you start complaining About what you think you're owed? Look again, because I'll bet There's a line you haven't toed! Let's take a minute here and now To make sure your slate is clear... Hold it....are these debts I see? Here and here and here? You've always had the best of health A home and family's love These three are just the very first Of what you owe to God above Add to those three, many friends Not to mention much success Minor miracles, lucky breaks Plus years of happiness! All these things owed to the Lord Who granted them to you So sit and think on that before You start presenting IOUs!! Every talent you possess Each gift that you've been given Demonstrates God's love for you Which has never been kept hidden But instead of showing gratitude Have you ignored the things He's done? He even cancelled the largest debt When it was paid for by His Son!! Which, though we were undeserving Was the greatest gift of all A guarantee of Heaven Despite our many slips and falls So much we owe to God the Father For all His blessings from above.. And in return He asks for nothing Except obedience and our love And that is such a minor price In the light of all WE owe It seems the least that we can do For Someone who loves us so!!
