Name: O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus
Duration: P00H05M03S
Description: This is a beautiful old hymn that I've always loved. It's haunting and sombre, even while speaking of the love of Christ. I remember a Rich Mullins song that spoke of "...the restless, raging fury that they call the love of God". To me, the intro hook reminds me of this.

lyrics

o the deep, deep love of jesus
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
to my glorious rest above

o the deep, deep love of jesus
spread his praise from shore to shore
how he loveth, ever loveth; changeth never, nevermore
how he watches o'er his loved ones; died to call them all his own
how for them he intercedeth;
watcheth o'er them from the throne

o the deep deep love of jesus
love of ev'ry, love the best
'tis an ocean full of blessing
'tis a haven giving rest
o the deep, deep love of jesus
'tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me
and it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to thee
