I will call your name
But I will not plead for an answer
*
I will knock
But I will not open the door for you
*
I will invite you
But I will not beg you to come
*
I will speak words of life to you
But I will not bend your ear
*
I will set a table for you
But I will not push you into the chair
*
I will love you with all my heart
But I will not coerce you to accept it
*
I will bring you to healing waters
But I will not dunk you into them
*
I will instruct you in the ways of wisdom
But I will not mandate that you learn
*
I will warn you
But I will not compel you to take heed
*
I will make you aware when you have strayed
But I will not turn you around
*
I will guide you to a clear pool
But I will not induce you to drink of it
*
I will give you food for thought
But I will not demand that you think
*
I will bring you comfort
But I will not require you to be consoled
*
I will unlock your shackles
But I will not take them off of you
*
I will always tell you the truth
But I will allow you to believe whatever you choose
*
I will prepare a place for you
But I will not force you to dwell there
