He truly understands that it is not enough to just be saved but to live as a more than conqueror, we must understand the full ramification of what actually took place at the Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's why I, as a 65-year old retired missionary, can willing submit my life and ministry to his leadership. How delightful it is to grow under the teaching ministry of a Biblically qualified man of God.
And can he ever sing...wow! He also looks like Shep Smith of Fox News.
Wonder of Your Love
Joel Engle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It calls me out as deep calls to deep
Your love is stronger than the weight of my sin
I am amazed again
'Cause it's higher
It's deeper
It's stronger than anything
You've shown me the wonder of Your love
Your love it holds me through the darkest night
It calls me out into Your glorious light
I'm hidden in the shadow of Your wings
Your love is saving me
In "Wonder of Your Love," Joel Engle praises the magnificent love of Jesus, describing its power and boundlessness. He highlights the supreme nature of his love through the illustration of mountains, typifying God's love as towering over everything else as the mountain peaks rise tall. Engle also compares the vast depths of the ocean, the "deep" to the unfathomable depths of God, providing us with a sense that we can never entirely comprehend the vastness of God's love for us. He declares how God's love has redeemed and saved him, even from his darkest sin. Throughout the song, his worship builds, culminating in the chorus when he repeats the phrases, "It's higher, it's deeper, it's stronger than anything, I worship You, Jesus," repeatedly to invoke the power of God's love.
The song is akin to a religious experience and reminds us of the divinity of Jesus Christ. In addition, it highlights the might of His love, which reaches deeper, higher, and stronger than anyone or anything.
