The Height and Depth of Love - Advent - Love

How wide the gorge between each heart
And the joy it once knew
Before this world did all it could
To break each heart in two.
 
Thus has it always been in life,
We struggle and we fail,
For, in the end, we bear the scars
Of all this life’s travail.
 
This world of pain is vast indeed,
But it cannot compare
To all the joy of heaven’s grace
And the love that lives there.
 
For God is not limited by
The heights and depths of earth,
It was His vast, unyielding love
That gave creation birth.
 
For He holds precious each small bird,
More so each broken heart,
And He poured out His love on earth
To give us a new start.
 
The hurt will heal, the scars will fade,
Let His love take their place.
Lift your eyes up to heaven’s heart.
Live in His loving grace!
 
Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
