The Love of God

We sang this hymn in church yesterday...I just love verse 3!

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.


Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.


It's so true - God's love is so measureless and amazing! We as mere authors cannot ever show the whole of God's wondrous love, but we can give our readers a glimpse of God's goodness and grace through our writing. 

-- Klara C.

"....I have loved you with an everlasting love; 
Therefore with lovingkindness I have dawn you." 
Jeremiah 31:3b, NKJV
