David Phelps The Love of God song lyrics

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 sins

O love of God

How rich and pure!

How measureless and strong

it shall forever more endure

the saints and angels song

Could we with ink the ocean fill

and Skies of parchment made

were every stone 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 a scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky

Instruments play
