| The heart of man is small It loves only when it is loved It gives only when it gets in return When spurned it turns to hate How small the heart of man It shows no love to the stranger Nor does it take joy when others are blessed It seeks only its own reward And is jealous when others prosper And envies those who have what it wants Selah Not so the heart of God The heart of God exceeds The boundaries of the body Its love is greater Than the breath of sea and sky It loves for the sake of love And delights in goodness And gives only to bless Caring for the wayward Seeking to save the lost Selah God’s love is patient and kind It suffered and died For those undeserving And waits to pour out His Spirit To man whose heart is small Selah If we only knew how great The heart of God We would joyfully sell all To buy the pearl of great price The treasure hidden in the field To receive the blessing And expand the heart To love sacrificially As God loved us Selah So repent my friend For thinking you had to earn this love Or be good in order to get Repent And experience The love of God A God whose heart Exceeds the breath Of sea and sky Which no body can now contain And loves only for the sake of love Selah |
