God Is Greater Than Our Hearts
1 John 3:20

God is greater than our hearts
Greater than our fits and starts
All our sighing, crying, plying
Our longing, wronging, lying
His love is infinitely far beyond
The love within us He has spawned
Only this can I with confidence say
His love will win out one happy day
Indeed, it will one grace-filled day
