For The Countless Times

A Poem on God's Love

For the countless times I sinned

And you still took me in.

For the countless times I strayed

And you still held my hand

Willing to lead me back

Again and again.

For the countless times I faltered

And you never gave up

But continued to believe

That I can still get up.

For the countless times I’ve hurt you

But you never complained

And you kept on loving me

Again and again.

It is for these and for countless things more,

For things that words could never express

That I give you my praise, my heart and my soul

Hoping and praying that I could love you more.

O how I pray for the time

And how I long for the day

That I won’t hurt you

And I won’t fail you anymore.

But until that day

I pray you show me the way

To keep on believing

To keep on hoping

To keep on returning

Again and again

To you.

You Never Give Up On Me

Here is a song I published on my YouTube channel “She Who Prays Twice” that reflects a similar sentiment to the above poem:

O how great is the infinite love of God! How patient, how kind and how unfathomable. Praised be our Lord forever and ever.

“Love never fails.” - 1 Corinthians 13:8 (NABRE)
