I don't think words can really capture the love of God. Paul tried to grasp even the concept of understanding it!
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." Ephesians 3:14-21.
The writer of this hymn tried to grasp it also. "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." There is nowhere you can go that the love of God cannot reach. His presence comes everywhere. Read all of Psalm 139! Here is a small snippet - "If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me." It goes on and on - really do read it! We cannot grasp the height and depth of His love for even just ONE of us! Immerse yourself in that thought. The depth of love that God has for you cannot be contained in any language on the earth. No words can fully convey it, no mind can fully grasp it. And our Lord feels this love for every person ever created. What a marvellous God!
Thank you to the lovely listener who requested this meaningful and musically pleasing song. I hope and pray many will be blessed by listening to it.
The Love of God
Verse 1
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.
Chorus
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Verse 2
When hoary 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.
Verse 3
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.
