Can You Stop

a Poem by Roger Montgomery

Can you change a rainbow’s colors
Or make them a different hue
Can you keep the wind from blowing
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you stop the sun from shining
Or deny a love that’s true
Can you keep the grass from turning green
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you keep the sun from shining
Or separate the morning from the dew
Can you stop the birds from singing
Or stop God from loving you.

God is a God of love
He loves you with a heart that’s true
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

God is a God of love
He loves you through and through
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

Can you keep a musician from playing
Or little children from playing like they do
Can you stop time or redeem it back
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you stop the rain from falling
Or stop the sky from turning blue
Can you stop the stars from sparkling
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you keep a mother from loving
Or stop a father from caring what you do
Can you keep a preacher from praying
Or stop God from loving you.


God is a God of love
He loves you with a heart that’s true
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

God is a God of love
He loves you through and through
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

Can you keep a cat from purring
Or snuggling up to it’s chosen few
Can you stop a dog’s tail from wagging
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you keep a mountain road from winding
Or a bride’s face from glowing too
When you stop and think about it
Can you stop God from loving you.

Can you stop the tides from changing
Or change a sunset’s majestic view
With an ocean full of fish
Can you stop God from loving you.

God is a God of love
He loves you with a heart that’s true
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

God is a God of love
He loves you through and through
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

Can you change the color of your hair
Or change your appearance too
And keep God from knowing who you are
Or stop God from loving you.

Can you sink to such depths
Or soar to such heights way up in the blue
And keep God from going where you go
Or stop God from loving you.

You can never change God’s heart
Even if you wanted to
He forever remains the same
And He’s in love with you.

God is a God of love
He loves you with a heart that’s true
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.

God is a God of love
He loves you through and through
God is a God of love
And He’s in love with you.
