Immeasurable is the Greatness of Our God’s Love
One day I decided to find a way
to measure just how much is God’s love
I knew that God’s love was great,
it would be a challenge that I was sure of
Starting with something easy, I
started with something I thought was surely small
“It should be simple to find
God’s love for just me, then multiply if for all”
It took ten fingers and ten toes
twice, a calculator, both ears, and the tip of my nose,
But when I got done counting,
there was still more than all the digits calculator shows
Scratching my head I realized
that God’s love could not be measured in numbers,
Of course not, God can’t be
calculated with equations, that’s much too cumbersome
I was excited that God’s love was
greater than all the numbers I could add
But I was not ready to quit just
yet, there were some other ways to measure I still had
So, I took out a ruler to measure
God’s love, every little bit down to the final inch
Before staring, I thought to
myself “this is much better this is sure to be a cinch”
With my ruler I started measuring
every little bit of God’s love that I could see
I measured high and low far and
near, then I realized God’s love was all around me
Discouraged I wondered aloud, “why
does God leave so much love just lying around”
“Honestly, it seems to me, that
there is not a single place God’s love is not found”
Thinking fast, I found another
way, it would take some time but was sure to be a success
I would take a measuring cup, and
find the volume of love--of my ideas this was the best
After but a minute of measuring,
I realized this task was going to get the best of me,
I needed something much bigger
than what I use to measure out my favorite recipe
I thought to find something bigger,
it came to me “maybe ballrooms would be big enough”
I tried to find a way to measure
with the biggest ballroom, but I found the task too tough
It was only then that I
understood, that God’s love can’t be measured in any amount
No matter what measure you use, God’s
love is way too great to ever count
I sat down to write it in words, but
after but a sentence, I realized it was impossible
God’s love is greater, big beyond all
understanding and is always unsurpassable
