As I sit home this Easter morning......in jammies not our darling Easter outfits......I've been pondering the words to this song.....especially the bolded verse. Such neat word pictures!
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.
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.
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.

The love of God - it's beyond our comprehension. How a perfect God loved us WHILE WE WERE STILL IN OUR SIN and chose to make a way to be free of those sins, is uncomprehendable.
Are we living in that freedom and giving Him the praise He deserves?
He died for me, how can I not live for Him?
