The Love of God (Modern Version)

, F.M.Lehman , Mercy Me

This is how our band play it at church, I'm not sure if it's how
Mercy Me did it on their CD...so sorry if it's a bit different, I
just don't really listen to recorded Christian music. It's a
fantastic subtle take on a great hymn tho!

Frederick M. Lehman/Mercy Me: The love of God

 6   6  -6   -7 -8  8 -8-8 7-7
The love of God is greater far
 -8    -8   -7 -6  -7  7-7   -7
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
 6   6  -6 -7  -8  8 -8   -87-7
It goes beyond the highest star,
 -8  -8 -7  -6  -7  7 -6   6
And reaches to the lowest hell;
 9   9  9   8     9     9    9   -8
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
 -8  -8   8  -8-6 8 -8 
God gave His Son to win;
 9    9 9    8   9    9  9 -87-7
His erring child He reconciled,
-8   -8   8  -8-6  -7  -7 
And pardoned from his sin.

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,
  -8      -8      8  -8-6 -7 -7 -7-77-8 7
Though stretched from sky to sky-y-y-iy-y.

9 9 -10 9 -98-9
Hallelu-jah
9 9 -10 9 -98-9
Hallelu-jah
9 9 -10 9-10
Hallelujah

-8 -10 9  -9   -9   -9   9   -9
O love of God, how rich and pure!
 -9  -9  9  9  -9 9  -10
How measureless and strong!
-10 -10   9 -9 -8 -9  9 -9 
It shall forevermore endure
-9   -9      9   9  -9   -9
The saints’ and angels’ song.
