oh, the love of God

 


I talked about God’s love since I was a kid, and one of the things that God’s love reminds us of is how good God is and how He has changed our lives…

  

John 3:16  NASB  

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 


The most favorite verse of all time is John 3:16.  People can quote is and know it when they see it.  


But even greater is the fact that God’s love is moving and challenging and precious.  The following hymn explains the love of God in such beautiful terms.  Take some time to listen to the song.  Read the words.  Try to ingest the incredible depth of God’s great love.

 

“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.   

 

O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure— 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.

 

O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure— The saints’ and angels’ song.

 

Have a great day.  God loves you, and God is good.
