Verse 1
C
The love of God is greater far,
G C
Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
It goes beyond the highest star,
G C
And reaches to the lowest hell.
F C
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
G C
God gave His Son to win.
F C
His erring child He reconciled,
G C
And pardoned from his sin.
Chorus
F C
O love of God, how rich and pure!
G C
How measureless and strong!
F C
It shall forevermore endure,
G C
The saints' and angels' song.
Verse 2
C
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
G C
And were the skies of parchment made.
Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill,
G C
And ev'ry man a scribe by trade.
F C
To write the love of God above,
G C
Would drain the ocean dry,
F C
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
G C
Though stretched from sky to sky.
