Shane & Shane, with Bethany Barnard and Dinah Wright, perform a live rendition of the classic hymn 'The Love of God.' The song celebrates the vast, immeasurable nature of God's love, which reaches from the highest heavens to the lowest depths. It reflects on how God gave His Son to reconcile sinners and pardon their sins. The lyrics use vivid imagery, such as filling oceans with ink and skies with parchment, to illustrate that human expression cannot fully capture this love. The repeated chorus emphasizes the richness, purity, and enduring strength of God's love, which will be sung by saints and angels forever.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest s tar
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
O love of God how rich and pure
How measure less and strong
It shall for evermore endure
The saints and angels song
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made A
Were every tree 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
O love of God how rich and pure
How measure less and strong
It shall for evermore endure
The saints and angels song
O love of God how rich and pure
How measure less and strong
It shall for evermore endure
The saints and angels song
