Maybe this international "saying" about God will help you out:
"Herrens veje er uransagelige" (In Danish)
Which appear to be in English:
"God moves in mysterious ways"

For me,"Guds urandsaglige kaerlighed", could be translated by "God's mysterious/impenetrable/... love", unless you find a better one.

Voilà!
I hope it helped.
Hey, I think you're right! Sweet. Thanks alot, Takk! So does a word with U prefix in front of it negate the word following like the English "un". Because if ransag means "search" then Uransag could concievably mean "unsearchable" (basically what you said). If so that will help me out with the other Danish words that start with U.

P.S. Would you mind if I put some other words up here that I can't understand? I wouldn't have a problem if the Danish was modern, but it's 250 years old! I could actually send you some pictures/scans of the pages that I have. I think you would probably just like the look of it. Anyways, I was just wondering if you would be willing to help out a little.

Thanks again,

~Josh
