love song

a *real* one this time =P

I wrote the verse lyrics to this song with Romans 8:37–39 in mind. Nothing brings us more comfort and strength in our trials than to remember that Jesus loves us with an everlasting love and nothing can ever separate us from His love. He loved us from eternity past. He loved us when He hung on the cross as our substitute. He loves us every second of our lives. He will love us when we go through the valley of the shadow of death, and He’ll continue to love us forever. Jordan came up with the verse melody and the chorus is Joel’s, adapted from a song he had written previously. — Mark

lyrics

VERSE 1
My Redeemer’s love is deeper
Than the depths of sin and hell
He who was enthroned in glory
Came to bring us to Himself
My Redeemer’s love is wider
Than the breach my sins had made
He reached down into my darkness
He alone has pow’r to save

CHORUS 1
Deeper than the rolling seas
Higher than the mountain peaks
Your love is all I need

VERSE 2
My Redeemer’s love is stronger
Than my fiercest enemies
He will hold me in the tempest
Through the flood He carries me
My Redeemer’s love will lead me
Through the deepest valley here
He will shepherd me and guide me
He will ever keep me near

CHORUS 2
Deeper than the rolling seas
Higher than the mountain peaks
Your love is all I need
Stronger than the rushing wind
Shattering the power of sin
Your love is all I need

VERSE 3
My Redeemer’s love grows sweeter
As eternity draws near
I’ll enjoy His love forever
At His throne for endless years
My Redeemer’s love will fill me
On the day I see His face
I will love Him back forever
And forever sing His praise
