Was building a mansion
For you to live in,
Would you believe Me?
If I told you I'd
Work three and a half years
And give you the wages,
Would you believe Me?
If I told you I'd
Accept the punishment
For all the wrongs you've ever done or ever will do,
Would you believe Me?
If I told you
I'd refuse to leave your side
In your times of greatest need
Even if it endangered Me;
If I told you I
Would die willingly,
Not to save your life,
But that you might live freely;
If I told you I
Cherish you deeply, love you tenderly,
Delight in you, believe in your potential,
And long that we may know one another intimately . . .
If I told you
I ache when you cry, I call when you wander,
I rejoice when you have faith,
Would you believe me?
If I told you
I am real; I am here;
This is not pretend.
Would you look for Me?
