The Love of God
Original Song in the key of d
This is in c, capo 2
NOTE: It won't place the chords exactly where they should be rhythmically with the
lyrics, but these are the right chords. Listen to the song and you can pick up the
transition. I believe it's in 6/8 time.
Intro
F G Am C F
Verse 1 ( F G Am C F )
F G
The love of God is greater far
Am C F
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
(F) G
It goes beyond the highest star
Am C
And reaches to the lowest hell
F G
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
Am C
God gave His only Son to win
F G
His erring child He reconciled
Am C
You and I pardoned from our sin.
Chorus 1 (G Am C F E/G F G Am)
G Am
Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
C F
It shall forevermore endure
E/G F
How measureless and strong!
G
The saints' and angels' song we sing
Am
Holy, holy
Verse 2
F G
When ancient time shall pass away,
Am C
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
F G
When men here refuse to pray,
Am C
And rocks and hills and mountains call
F G
God's love, so sure, shall still endure
Am C
All measureless and strong
F G
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
Am C
Shall be the saints' and angels' song
Verse 3
F G
Could we with ink the ocean fill
Am C
And were the skies of parchment made
F G
Were every stalk on earth a quill
Am C
And every man a scribe by trade
F G
To write the love of God above
Am C
Would drain the ocean dry
F G
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Am C
Though stretched from sky to sky
