Oh The Deep Deep Love by Samuel Trevor Francis & Bob Kauflin Vast unmeasured boundless free Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me Underneath me all around me Is the current of Your love Leading onward leading homeward To Your glorious rest above Oh the deep deep love, All I need and trust Is the deep deep love of Jesus Spread His praise from shore to shore How He came to pay our ransom Through the saving cross He bore How He watches o'er His loved ones Those He died to make His own How for them He's interceding Pleading now before the throne Far surpassing all the rest It's an ocean full of blessing In the midst of ev'ry test Mighty Savior precious friend You will bring us home to glory Where Your love will never end Twice Good Good Father by Patt Barrett & Anthony Brown I've heard a thousand stories Of what they think You re like But I've heard the tender whisper Of love in the dead of night You tell me that You re pleased And that I'm never alone You're a Good Good Father It's who You are, It's who You are It's who You are, And I'm loved by You It's who I am, It's who I am, It's who I am I've seen many searching for answers Far and wide But I know we're all searching for answers Only You provide Because You know just what we need Before we say a word Bridge (sing twice) You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways You are perfect in all of Your ways to us Love so undeniable I can hardly speak Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think Into love love love Chours CCLI#312371
