The Love Of God (hymn)
“The love of God is great far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest Hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His son to win
His erring child, He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin”
III. HOW LOVE IS PROVEN

You are not an “only child” in the family of God
