How
Big is God Part 6
Big Enough to Love Me Unconditionally
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will
take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
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.
Refrain
O love of God,
how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When years of 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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Words:
Frederick M. Lehman; he wrote this song in 1917 in Pasadena,
California, and it was published in Songs That Are Different,
Volume 2, 1919. The lyrics are based on the Jewish poem
Haddamut, written in Aramaic in 1050 by Meir Ben Isaac
Nehorai, a cantor in Worms, Germany; they have been
translated into at least 18 languages.
