The Question of Quenching

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned" (Song of Solomon 8:7). "And they crucified Him" (Mark 15:25). "All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over Me" (Psalm 42:7).

What can quench the love of God?
Can hatred? Mocking? Shame?
The billows of God's chastening rod?
Or blaspheming His name?

Wondrous love! Eternal flame!
Unquenched beneath those waves!
Forever it shall burn the same!
Forevermore it saves!
