The LOVE of GOD
By Frederick M. Lehman in the year 1917
- 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:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
- 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.
- 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.
Our spiritual relationships with God can be difficult. I often feel personal sadness over my mistakes and refuse to let go of them. I have to REMIND myself that the guilt I feel over my sins can be swept away when I ask for forgiveness. God pours over us sweet love from His never ending supply, and when He forgives us, we don't need to hold on to the guilt. WE ARE LOVED AND FORGIVEN!
It is a hard thing to release our guilt and allow the love of God to surround us, but when it happens, nothing can compare!
