The indescribable. ( 1 John 4 v 8 / John 3 v 16 )
How does one describe the indescribable ?,I am talking about the love of God,but we can try,it was F.M.Lehman who wrote a wonderful hymn called , 'The love of God',actually one of the verses was penciled on the wall of a narrow room of an asylum by a man said to have been demented. The love of God is greater far,Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star. And reach-es to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care,God give His son to win; His erring child He reconciled,And pardoned from his sin. When hoary 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 measure-less 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,Tho stretched from sky to sky. Oh, love of God, how rich and pure,How measure-less and strong, It shall for ever-more endure-The saints and angels song.
