The Love of God
George P. Keeling • English
Primary Scripture: John 3:16
Verse 1
The love of God flows deep and wide Thro’ Christ who bled for us and died; Its widening stretch we cannot see, It reaches far beyond the sea.
Chorus
Oh love, oh, love, oh, love of God so free; He proved His love for you and me Upon dark Calvary.
Verse 2
Tho’ men have gone in sin so deep That hell would blush and angels weep, Yet, God so loved each guilty one He gave for them His only Son.
Chorus
Oh love, oh, love, oh, love of God so free; He proved His love for you and me Upon dark Calvary.
Verse 3
The heart that is so hard in sin That this great love can never win, Is truly fit for nothing less Than endless hell and wretchedness.
Chorus
Oh love, oh, love, oh, love of God so free; He proved His love for you and me Upon dark Calvary.
Verse 4
But tho’ your sins be black and deep, And awful darkness ’round you creep, Yet, God so loves your guilty soul, He’ll save you from all hell’s control.
Chorus
Oh love, oh, love, oh, love of God so free; He proved His love for you and me Upon dark Calvary.
