The Love

"The Love"

To what shall I with merely words compare the matchless love of God?
How can mortal tongue proclaim what angels in their chorus fail aloud?
Shall I say His love is like an arrow shot from Heaven’s bow to earth,
To pierce the heart of man below so we might know it’s awesome worth?
Or maybe I should, as others may, compare it to a seed –
That grows relentlessly within our hearts – fulfilling all our needs.
Sometimes it seems, His love is soft – like morning dew on spider’s silk,
Sometimes it rages from aloft – like thunder and lightning in the dark.
God’s love – inexhaustible, inexpressible, incomparable, indefatigable –
God’s Love – unfailing, unchanging, unbelievable, unimaginable –
No, words cannot express the depth, the span of our God’s love outpoured –
Nothing I can speak or write comes near to say, "God so loved the world" –
His love for you – for me – for us, can only be supposed
By a Cross, three nails, a crown of thorns – and a willing son – our Lord.
