The Love of God
by Russell Kelfer
Use the “Play” ► button above to listen to the poem:
Oh, the breadth of the love of God,
God choosing the likes of me;
God giving Himself to seal that love
On a rugged, Roman tree.
And oh, the length of the love of God,
An eternal, unending refrain;
The mountains and hills may vanish from sight,
But forever His love will remain.
And oh, the depth of the love of God,
What tender, compassionate care;
Like a mother protects and provides for her own
Our Master is always there.
And oh, the height of the love of God,
From heaven to earth’s fertile sod;
It touches a life that touches a life,
And back it flows to God.
How broad, how long, the love of God,
How deep, how high it goes;
It’ll change a man, then change a home,
And on and on it flows
Until a weary, wary world,
Uncertain God is above;
Will stand in awe and know He’s there,
Because they’ve seen His love.
So drink at its fountain, beloved,
And shout to the world “It is true!”
That the love of God and the God of Love,
Have taken control of you!
