Wider Than the Ocean

Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind
that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song
Tender as can be
is my Father's love for me

You are strength in weakness
Joy when I am sad
When this life brings sorrow
You are there to make me glad
You are every answer
to every question asked
You are Who I cling to
when there's nothing left to grasp

Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind
that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song
Tender as can be
is my Father's love for me

You are light in darkness
Peace in stormy wind
When I need to laugh or cry
You are a faithful Friend
When my heart is hurting
You sing my heart a song
Near Your heart is home to me
Sweet home where I belong

Wider than the ocean
Deeper than the sea
Stronger than the strongest wind
that there could ever be
Sweeter than a love song
Tender as can be
is my Father's love for me
