They have been loved without realizing

The God that they had slighted and ignored

Had come to seek them out the way a shepherd seeks out lost sheep

That he shed his blood on the cross to get rid of the the bad thing

What is the bad thing?

Well, what is your bad thing?

I think it is a synonym for sin

How do we get rid of this?

Is there a way to get a clean start, a new page?

To hit the delete key?

Yes, there is. How?

In the blood of the lord, Jesus Christ

He was forsaken so that you or I might be forgiven

So they were loved without realizing

They were purchased without deserving

And they had a constant companionship, that penetrated their aloneness

You were brought near, in proximity

You were once far away, now you're near
