Why I Love Him

by Lon Woodrum


Say, do you love me Sonny?
The question was from me,
To my little son, a-swingin'
Boy-like on my knee.

"Of course, I love you, daddy,"
He said with honest eye,
I pulled him closer to me --
'Tell me, honey, 'why?'

"Well, it's NOT because you're daddy!"
(He seemed to think a bit)
He fumbled with my necktie ....
"No, that's not it!"

He seemed to think a moment,
Then sort've settled back ....
"You love ME so much, daddy,
I reckon I just like to love you back!".

I think that answer sort've helped me know
The reason why I love the Master so;
His love is grand, and strong, and knows no slack,
He loves me so much, I reckon I just like to love Him back!
