Scripture & Snapshot 30

My husband heard this scripture and wrote this song...

Let Me In

I see your face pushed on the floor. You snot-faced child of mine---

you should know I'm more in love with you than all the books and stories

you've heard all your life.

I'm the One who kissed your face before you were ever born.

O count the stars if you can! I made them all, and I made you too...

if you only knew what you mean to me.

Well, I want you to see

You're wearing thin,

Please let your heart open,

and let me in.

I'll take your sin.

Just let your heart open,

and let me in.

You're wondered if I've had enough: "What if God gives up on me,

and He runs out of love? What if I'm too far gone, and God is done?

I've squandered my life for mammon.

I wonder if He'd call me son. I'm so unworthy now..."

O but now, son, if you could see me...you'd see my legs run...

you'd see my heart jump...you'd feel my kiss on your face.

He's home again! Home again!

I could never imagine Heaven without you here...

my greatest fear is you lost and gone.

I call you son.

Come home again.

Please let your heart open,

and let me in.

I'll take your sin.

Just let your heart open,

and let me in.

Though you were dark, you would be like the morning star on fire,

Sweet child of mine, I love your heart. You're always my desire.

I smile when I think of you...never depends on what you do.

Just let me in.

O, please let me in.

I see the tears stream down your face. You snot-faced child of mine---

you should know I'm crazy

about you.
