| Song: | 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. |
