The Love of God
The love of God, it is so wide,
That all who will, may in it bide.
When Jesus on the cross did die,
God’s love was echoed in His cry.
The love of God is strong and long,
Echoing like an endless song.
The one who has no birth nor end,
Came down to earth to be man’s friend.
The love of God, it is so high,
Extending far beyond the sky.
God’s Son with love from heaven came,
To wipe from man sin’s searing shame.
The love of God flows oh, so deep,
Causing His broken heart to weep.
Desiring our hearts to win,
God sent His Son to save from sin.
Because God saw me, lost, accursed,
and made the choice to love me first.
I choose to cease from sin and strife
and give to Him my heart and life.
