It's taken from the third verse of an old hymn. I always found that verse very poetic, and the picture it paints vivid and awe-inspiring. I thought it was a good thing to remind myself of and put my thoughts under, especially meaningful because I plan to be an artist and the verse speaks of a world painted with the description of the love of God.
I don't want it to simply be a pretty bit of wording that sounds nice as a title, either (although I do like the sound of it :) ). I want to live my life with a constant, conscious awareness of God's presence and his love.
If I can someday develop that habit, I think it would be... I don't even know what word to use. I think it would be amazing, and it's really a desire of my heart.
Here's the song.
The Love of God (third verse & chorus)
Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade, To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry, Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky.
O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints and angels song.
Others tend to think I'm the quiet, reserved type. Then they get to know me. I'm one of those people you can be around for months on end, and I’ll make you think I’m perfectly normal and balanced. But don't be deceived. Recently, me and; Kinetta covered our hands in ashes to disguise our skin colors, put war paint stripes on our noses and cheeks, and had to wash it all off by standing in a duck pond and scrubbing with algae. That was a fun day. (No, I do NOT do this all the time. On occasion I scrub with dandylions instead.) I like twirling around in and getting soaked by raging, thundering downpours while all those cowards hide under the doorway and try to keep their feet from getting wet.
QUOTE: Beware the quiet people. With the loud ones, you know what they're thinking. But the quiet ones - you never know what they're going to do next. (Insert creepy music and/or Darth Vader theme)
SONG: I'm going to live the difference/ I'm going to pay the price/ 'Cause it's all or nothing/ No compromise/ I'm going to live the difference/ Put my life on the line/ This is my generation/ And I'm going to fight/ It's time.
