but this morning as I was reading this prayer from one of the devotions that Suzanne sent me, I was struck by the magnitude of such simple words...and the song..is one that we, as a family, love to sing with Joe when he practices for Sunday morning. It is a beautiful example of something that we should scream out everyday..reminding ourselves that we are nothing, He is everything!!!
Holy Father, You are my greatest adventure. Your love is beyond what I can imagine or comprehend. Thank you for loving me ... in spite of me. Please remove anything in my heart that keeps me from fully embracing Your love today.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
he Love of God
Frederick Lehman
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.
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.
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.
