The Depth of God’s Love

With love that lasts, when time has gone
The night can be transformed to dawn
And hatred taught to sing a song of love
A song of God's love

And the depth of God's love
Reaches down, down, down
To where we are
Until we're found, found, found
A quiet word, or none at all
Pursues the heart behind the wall
And to those who wait
With darkness all around
The depth of God's love reaches down

When life surrounds itself with fears
Of loneliness and private tears
Your gentle arms embrace our years with love
The depth of God's love

And the depth of God's love
Reaches down, down, down
To where we are
Until we're found, found, found
A quiet word, or none at all
Pursues the heart behind the wall
And to those who wait
With darkness all around
The depth of God's love reaches down

Love expressed in earthy ways
A sturdy hand, a smiling face
And graceful eyes that see beneath
What others see and seldom reach
God's love exposed in sacrifice
The depth of God's love is Jesus Christ

And the depth of God's love
Reaches down, down, down
To where we are
Until we're found, found, found
A quiet word, or none at all
Pursues the heart behind the wall
And to those who wait
With darkness all around
The depth of God's love reaches down
