We must remember again and again

Every day we forget
we must remember again
Not as a must do
out of obligation
But a must do
out of love
Only love is worthy
Only love keeps
remembrances alive

Who is worthy
Who is loved

We remember

Memories lie within us
and no matter
where we are
where we go
memories remain
love remains

God's Word
His love
His grace
His salvation
His judgment
is worthy of remembering
Day after day

To move forward
we must remember
always

God loved us all
Loves us still
Gave His Son
His only begotten Son
So we, whoever,
believe in Him
would not die in
our self-made world
but have a new life,
a new quality of living,
a life redeemed.

God loved us all
Loves us still
Sent His Son
into the world
of untold sin
not to condemn
but to save

To save from
forever damnation

We must remember
again and again

If we do not remember
we have forgotten
and if we forget,
we are lost
and if we are lost,
who is there to find us?

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." - John 3:16-21 NKJV
