This song is about God’s agape, or unconditional love, for us. Mattie asks how we can possibly repay God for his unending, unconditional love towards us. The best we can do is love God back, echoing Christ’s words from Mark 12:30:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul an...
Can we pay back more than can be measured?
If we could love
If we could love
If we could love
If we could love
If we could love
If we could love
There is an amount of love
An amount of grace
Beyond all meaning
Beyond all measure
If we could even grasp it
There would be more pleasure
There is no greater love than
Laying your life down for a friend
If we loved God to a teaspoon
Of his overflowing cup
What would this world then see?
What would this world then see?
Our land of sorrow and turmoil
Would swirl to a community of joy
What would this world then see?
Open our eyes to glisten
Open our hearts to receive
And open our mouths to smile
This is a love that none can fathom
Oh!
How can we repay?
How can we repay?
Love the Lord Your God
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength
With all your heart
All your soul
All your mind
All your strength
With all your heart!
