Todd Agnew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He's loving, ever loving
Changing never, nevermore
How He watches over His loved ones
Died to call them all His own
How for them He's interceding
Watching over them from the throne
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Love of every, love the best
It's an ocean vast of blessing
It's a haven sweet of rest
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
It's a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to Thee
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
That set me free
