I Am Thankful for God's Love

There's a wideness in God's mercy
I cannot find in my own
And He keeps His fire burning
To melt this heart of stone
Keeps me aching with a yearning
Keeps me glad to have been caught
In the reckless raging fury
That they call the love of God

Joy and sorrow are this ocean
And in their every ebb and flow
Now the Lord a door has opened
That all Hell could never close
Here I'm tested and made worthy
Tossed about but lifted up
In the reckless raging fury
That they call the love of God

I like the words and teh sentiment that goes with them. I recognized parts of the words from an old hymn but it didnt' seem to be that hymn. Thanks anyway for this inspriation.

This is very true. I wrote a song in college about this very topic and recently posted it on youtube, shameless plug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLQPmUvyQFE

Perhaps you'll hear it and be blessed.

Shalom.
