The Unfathomable Circle

A circle has no ending

Well none that we could see,

It has no beginning either

And so it appears to me.

But if someone drew it

He must have begun somewhere,

Therein is the beginning

Even though it’s unclear.

And if he’s no longer drawing

He must have made a stop,

Your challenge and mine, however,

Is we don’t know the spot.

If we should search for either:

That is the beginning or the end,

We would just go on and on

We’d never stop my friend.

Such a simple shape

But yet it’s so unfathomable

Neither beginning nor end

Is apparently visible.

Someone knows its beginning

And He too is unfathomable,

And that is why His love

Is likened to a circle.

It goes on and on the lyrics say

It’s a circle big and round,

Yes God’s love is like a circle

No ending can be found.

And so we’re in the month of love

But it should g on all year,

No ending should be in sight

I true love that is clear.

Ah but there be a beginning

For finite beings we be,

And when I came to Jesus

He started his love in me.

It was he that drew that circle

Beginning with the cross,

It is he that loves forever

So that none of his is lost.

And so the love of Jesus

Goes on eternally,

In all the saved it is present

And will be for eternity.

It’s unfathomable I remind you

But it is also very real,

Agape love is its expression

It’s that love that never fails.
