God Loves You Anyway

When you are too busy
To observe the Sabbath day,
When you can’t make the time for Him . . .
God loves you anyway.

When you’ve turned your back
And traveled your own way,
When in your life He has no room . . .
God loves you anyway.

When the devil’s found you
And you’ve been led astray,
And you worship life’s material things . . .
God loves you anyway.

When evil’s hosts surround you,
With decadence and decay,
When lust and greed are all you need . . .
God loves you anyway.

When you lay bruised and broken
Along life’s darkened way,
And still you will not turn to Him . . .
God loves you anyway.

And when you have betrayed him
Thrice ’fore the break of day,
When your sins cause Him such sorrow . . . 
God loves you anyway.
