The love of God The N Crew

1 verse:  
                     Eb
The love of God is greater far
                              Bb                      Eb
Than tongue or pen can ever tell,
                   Eb
It goes beyond the highest star
                        Bb                     Eb
And reaches to the lowest hell.

                  Ab                                         Eb
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
                          Bb         Eb
God gave His Son to win,
                 Ab                          Eb
His erring child He reconciled
                            Bb            Eb
And pardoned from his sin.

2 verse:  
When hoary time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call,

God's love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam's race,
The saints' and angels' song.

3 verse: +2
                          F
Could we with ink the ocean fill?
                         C                                   F
And were the skies of parchment made
                     F
Were every stalk on earth a quill?
                   C                              F
And every man a scribe by trade

                     Bb                        F
To write the love of God above!
                               C           F
Would drain the ocean dry
                          Bb                             F
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
                                            C         F
Though stretched from sky to sky!

Coda:  
                    Bb                               F
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
                          C              F
How measureless and strong!
                Bb                      F
It shall forevermore endure,
                              C          F
The saints' and angels' song!
