The Unfathomable Love Of God
Though beautiful songs have been skillfully sung
and earth's poets have served as a scribe,
The love of God can't totally be explained
and it's richness not fully described.
And if we tried to use paper to write all the words
that embody God's mercy so free,
We'd use all the paper that's ever been made
and the earth would be barren of trees.
Then if we needed ink to use on that paper
we'd have to search for more ink to spend.
Without a doubt, the ink would run out
before God's goodness would come to an end.
And if the heavens used rainfall to honor the Lord
and tell tales of His awesome power,
The whole earth would flood and be soaking wet
for there would be no end to the shower.
Then if the mountains in unison described their Maker
they would roar till the whole earth would shake.
The sound would be heard all over the planets
and be felt like a mighty earthquake.
Though we all try our best with the words we know
there's a limit to what our minds hold.
How unfathomable and great is the love of our God
and the half has never been told.
