As High As the Sky

Have you ever stopped to think just how much God loves you?

No, well maybe you should because…

Nothing on this earth or in the heavens above

Is as sure and certain as God’s love

 

But how can God’s love be “sure and certain”?

 

Because God’s love is…

 

…as high as the sky and it’s as deep as the sea,

And it’s as wide as the world,

God’s love for you and for me.

 

Is it possible to ever get away, or escape from God’s love?

 

No, it’s not because…

 

We can’t escape from his love or take ourselves out of his care,

So where could we hide from his love? His love is everywhere.

 

The answers I’ve given above to my questions are extracts from a song entitles As High As The Sky which was written by John Gowans. Why have I simply asked some questions and answered them using this song? Why not when the words of the song answer the questions far more succinctly than I ever could.

Here are the other two verses of this song:

Everything is changing in the world today,

There’s one thing reliable in every way,

Other things may alter but it’s clear and plain

That the love of God is just the same.

 

Wider than the human mind can realise,

His love is unlimited and never dies;

Though we don’t deserve it, every day it’s new;

That’s the love of God for me and you.
