Unfailing Love
Geoff Bullock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven's hope
This perfect peace
This rest for my soul
This love divine
Portrayed in pain
The cross stands alone
Unfailing love
The love of God
Creation's cry
Perfection portrayed
Broken for me
The Author of Life
Has suffered our pain
The cross stands alone
Unfailing love
The love of God
Was found in the nails
The love of God
Was seen in the scars
The light and the life
Was darkened by death
My hope and salvation carried to life
Unfailing love
Unfailing
Unfailing
Unfailing love
The love of God
Written in blood
This empty grave
The stone rolled away
The mercy of God
Has triumphed in Christ
The cross stands alone
Unfailing love
The love of God
Was found in the nails
The love of God
Was seen in the scars
The light and the life
Was darkened by death
My hope and salvation carried to life
Unfailing love
The love of God
Was found in the nails
The love of God
Was seen in the scars
The light and the life
Was darkened by death
My hope and salvation carried to life
Unfailing love
Unfailing
Unfailing
Unfailing love
Unfailing
Unfailing
Unfailing love
Unfailing
Unfailing
Unfailing love
Unfailing
Unfailing
Unfailing love
Unfailing

Unfailing love
The song 'Unfailing Love' by Geoff Bullock is a powerful tribute to God's unconditional love for mankind. It begins with an acknowledgement of the love of God, which offers hope and peace to all. The love of God is portrayed as perfect, divine, and unfailing, despite the pain and suffering involved. The cross, which represents the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, stands alone as a symbol of this unfailing love. The second verse describes how creation cries out in recognition of this love, and how the Author of Life himself suffered for our sake. Once again, the cross stands alone as a testimony to the unfailing love of God. The bridge emphasizes the fact that this love was found in the nails and scars of Jesus, and that the darkness of death itself was unable to extinguish the light and life that He brought. The final verse celebrates the triumph of mercy, as symbolized by Christ's resurrection from the dead. Despite the weight of sin and death, the cross still stands alone as a symbol of the unfailing love of God.
The lyrics are full of rich and powerful imagery, and they offer a moving testimony to the greatness of God's love. Throughout the song, the cross is used as a central symbol of God's mercy and sacrifice, and it serves as a reminder of the depth and breadth of His love. The repetition of the phrase "unfailing love" serves to emphasize this central theme, and it reinforces the idea that God's love is unchanging and constant, even in the face of our failures and shortcomings. The song has come to be recognized as a modern classic in Christian worship music, and its message of hope and love has inspired countless people around the world.
