 There's a wideness in God's mercy

There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There's no place where all earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in Heaven;
There's no place where all earth's failings
Have such kindly judgment given.

For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of our mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own.

If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Dear God how I have been guilty of that...

I would love to see a revival of more and more great Christian Poetry like this. Thank you for sharing.
