Gaither Vocal Band Moving Rendition of ‘The Love of God’ Hymn

Members of the Gaither Vocal Band turned in a moving and touching performance of the beloved hymn “The Love of God.”

For some inexplicable reason, God has an amazing and unending love for a bunch of sinners. The most popular and recited verse in the entire Bible tells of God’s immense love. It was because of God’s love, as John 3:16 tells us, that He sent His one and only Son to Earth to take our place, to pay our debt on the cross.

Being willing to endure an agonizing death on our behalf is a debt that we will never be able to repay. It’s also a level of unconditional love that we’ll never be able to understand. God’s love is immeasurable, always enduring and never-ending. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Gaither Vocal Band performed “The Love of God,” about this magnificent and awe-inspiring love. In front of a full house, the musicians sing out the beautifully written lyrics. 

“The love of God is greater far
 Than tongue or pen can ever tell
 It goes beyond the highest star,
 And reaches the lowest hell”

The hymn’s opening four lines perfectly capture the depth and magnitude of God’s love for us. There is no way to adequately describe God’s love for humans. It’s so much more than our minds could ever comprehend. 

Also, as the opening lines state, there is no place we could ever go to escape God’s love. We could be in the worst, most despicable and hopeless situation possible but God’s love does not cease to be or stop. He loves all and is constantly chasing after the lost. 

It’s simply a beautiful hymn. Bill Gaither, right before the performance, even calls it “one of the greatest hymns ever, ever written.” 

1 John 4:16 “And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.”
