The love of God is greater far

It goes beyond the highest star

You and I pardoned from our sin.

When ancient time shall pass away,

And rocks and hills and mountains call

Could we with ink the ocean fill
Am C
And were the skies of parchment made

Were every stalk on earth a quill

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Though stretched from sky to sky
