People are Strange

People are strange,
I cannot understand them.
I had a sweetheart
Who seemed to love me.
I gave her roses, sweets, gems.
I gave her all I had, my heart -
And she broke it.
I cannot forgive her.

God had a world
That should have loved Him.
He gave it beauty, light, and life.
He gave it all He had, His Son,
And it crucified Him.

People are strange,
I cannot understand them.
But God -
He loved them.
