The Love Of The Lord
No matter how far
Or how fast I run,
I cannot escape the love of the Lord.
Deeper than oceans,
Above the stars.
So vast and so great is the love of the Lord.
No matter how long,
Or how fast I fall,
I can always come back to the love of the Lord.
If I turn right away
And ignore my God's call,
I can always turn back to the love of the Lord.
If I conquer the world
And subdue every heart,
My power is as nothing to the love of the Lord.
If I did every work,
Every single good deed,
I'm still nothing compared to the love of the Lord.
If I give and I give
Till I have nothing left,
I will never come close to the love of the Lord.
As I think of His love,
What He went through for me,
I see but part of the depth of the love of the Lord.
As I think of the cross
That He died on for me,
I see nothing compares to the love of the Lord.
The death of my sin
And the gain of my life
Shows the power and the might of the love of the Lord.
All that I've gained,
Everything that I've seen,
Shows how NOTHING compares to the love of the Lord.
