The Love of God #oneday
#oneday @c2_bradburn
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song. -

Awaken from your life of slumber. Withdrawal from your addiction of the device clutched by your fingers.
Instead focus on your spouse, for they are your jewel. Focus on the children that will soon be adults. Utilize the ability to stand, walk, run and play. Seize every upcoming moment with a passion to serve something greater than YOU. FIND JOY in the mundane and rudimentary tasks that you grip and complain while doing. Do it with all due haste. Rather it could all be taken from you in an unforeseen moment.
Heed these words. Do not look back when your moment comes bearing the shackles of; I wish I had.......
