4Him - The Love Of God lyrics

rate me

The love of God is greater far<br />

Than tongue or pen can ever tell;<br />

It goes beyond the highest star,<br />

And reaches to the lowest hell;<br />

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,<br />

God gave His Son to win;<br />

His erring child He reconciled,<br />

And pardoned from his sin. <br />

CHORUS<br />

O love of God, how rich and pure!<br />

How measureless and strong!<br />

It shall forevermore endure<br />

The saints and angels song.<br />

When years of time shall pass away,<br />

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,<br />

When men, who here refuse to pray,<br />

On rocks and hills and mountains call,<br />

Gods love so sure, shall still endure,<br />

All measureless and strong;<br />

Redeeming grace to Adams race<br />

The saints and angels song.<br />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />

Could we with ink the ocean fill,<br />

And were the skies of parchment made,<br />

Were every stalk on earth a quill,<br />

And every man a scribe by trade,<br />

To write the love of God above,<br />

Would drain the ocean dry.<br />

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,<br />

Though stretched from sky to sky.<br />

REPEAT CHORUS
