WIDE AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP
Wide and long and high and deep;
Wide and long and high and deep
Is the love of Jesus.
Wide and long and high and deep;
Wide and long and high and deep;
Wide and long and high and deep
Is the love of Jesus for us.
And we pray that we will know this love,
And we pray that we will grow in love,
And we pray that we will be filled up
With the Spirit of God!
