The brilliant poet Francis Thompson was a drug addict.
How wide is the love of Christ!
In ill health and penniless, he lived on the streets of London, sleeping by the River Thames, selling matches to survive.
How deep is the love of Christ!
He sent a poem written on a scrap of paper to a magazine. The editors recognized his genius and took him into their home for a while.
How high is the love of Christ!
In his most famous poem, The Hound of Heaven, he described God’s relentless pursuing love.
How long is the love of Christ!
