Struck by the Poetry

Last night, as I drove home from church, I was struck by the poetry of the song "The Love of God", which is sung by Todd Agnew.

Here is the portion of the song that caught my ear and heart:

Could we with ink the ocean fill,



And were the skies of parchment made,


Were every stalk on earth a quill,


And every man a scribe by trade;


To write the love of God above


Would drain the ocean dry;


Nor could the scroll contain the whole,


Though stretched from sky to sky.

I must confess that I have skipped past this song a dozen times. However, it seemed an appropriate lullaby for the four tired fellows in the back of the van. Honestly, it's a soothing melody that I had never paid any attention. I might have missed it all together.
