God’s love to us is our best treasure!
It comes above all human measure:
reaching higher than the heavens,
deeper than the deepest oceans.
It is wider than can span our arms,
but closer than beat of our hearts,
is around us like the air we breathe;
no one or thing can come between.
It is with us when the sun is bright,
as well, when clouds hide its light;
for even then the sun is shining,
though we do not see and are denying.
His love is with us as day breaks,
in noon’s heat and the dark night makes.
It is with us when all things go well,
but even days which seem like hell.
It is with us when things make us glad;
it is with us when our hearts are sad.
His love is there in every blow,
each joy and sorrow, high and low.
God’s love is present in sickness, health,
in poverty as well as wealth;
whatever the colour of our skin,
or race, or place that we’re born in.
His love was with us in the past
through every trial our way cast.
Today He knows and future span,
so for their needs His love does plan.
If tanks and guns are let to fly,
if bombs bombard us from the sky,
if strife and tyranny terrorize,
we still cannot from Him be prized.
God’s love is ours in Jesus Christ:
take hold by faith; this does suffice.
Nothing, no-one, not anything
can ever separate from Him.
