about

"At that time I will plant a crop of Israelites and raise them for myself! I will show love to those I called 'Not loved.' And to those I called 'Not my people, 'I will say, 'Now you are my people." And they will reply, 'You are our God!" Hosea 2:23
Luke 12:16-24

lyrics

Every time a child is turned away
Can’t you see the angels shake their heads and say
The Father’s sent His Love for them all
Love to push the darkness back from the weak and the small

I know Your love is bigger than that
I know Your grace is wider than that
I know that Your love surrounds us all

From the high ways and the byways bring my sheep
From the east and the west they’re coming to me
Fill the house there’s room for all
This dinner was never meant to be small

They’ve come to have their love blessed by God
And are told that they’re not worthy of this sacrament of love
Whys judgment so easy to dispense
And love so easy to miss

I know Your love is bigger than that
I know Your grace is wider than that
I know that Your love surrounds us all

From the highways and the byways bring my sheep
From the north and the south they’re coming to me
Fill the house there’s room for all
This dinner was never meant to be small

Every time a child is turned away
Can’t you see the angels shake their heads and say

Our Fathers Love is bigger than that
Our Father grace is wider than that
The Fathers love surrounds us all
The Fathers love surrounds us all
