The Love of God Lyrics

The Love of God - Sebastian Demrey & Jimmy Lahaie

...

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 Son

Could we with ink the ocean fill

And were the skies of parchment made

Were ev'ry stalk on Earth a quill,

And ev'ry man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Tho' stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall for evermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

When hoary time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men who here, refused 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.

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall for evermore endure

The saints' and angels' song.

(till end)
