GOD’S  LOVE  WITHOUT  MEASURE 

By Rev. Dean Beaty  1/30/05

 

The scripture says that, “God is Love.” Not just in word but deed.

For He must be our sacrifice, if we are to be freed.

There is a love that goes beyond the measurements of men.

A love that led Him willingly to give His life for sin.

 

He could have stayed on God’s right hand, on His throne above.

He chose to leave it all behind to demonstrate His love.

He did not only come to preach, to tell the lost the way.

But gave Himself to die for sin, redemptions price to pay.

 

No greater love could mankind know than for a friend to die.

But Jesus died for sinful men who did not qualify.

All my works are filthy rags.  No way to reach God’s throne.

No one could pay my debt of sin, but Christ and Christ alone.

 

The height of God’s all reaching love, beyond all outer space.

The breadth of God’s inclusive love, all those of Adam’s race.

The depth of God’s eternal love, depths of depravity.

The length of God’s longsuffering love, beyond eternity.
