The Love of God

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.

When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race--
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Refrain

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

The Love of God is the greatest thing that we could ever possibly receive. It is powerful! And as Lehman puts it: "measureless and strong!" 

There is no limit to God's love. There is no sin that God can wrap his arms around and envelope. There is no one on this earth who is 'too tough' for Jesus. His arms are strong enough to gently open up the hearts of the downtrodden and the weak in heart, strength and spirit; mighty enough to bind up the enemy. His LOVE is ALL we need!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son."
John 3:16

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!"
1 John 3:1

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
