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.

"....I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have dawn you."
Jeremiah 31:3b, NKJV
AMEN! That is soooooooo true!
