I was lost I had nowhere to go

Where to turn I just did not know

I was ship wrecked, no harbour in sight

Drifting on in an endless night

But as I looked beyond the horizon

I discovered a sun that was rising

He reached down from the sky above

And embraced me with his love



It is higher than the highest mountain

Fresher than a sparkling fountain

Deeper than the deepest sea

I can't believe what's happened to me



I can hardly keep this feeling inside

Because I feel like a newborn child

And the things that used to hurt me are gone

I've got strength enough to carry on

I lifted me eyes to heaven

And now I know that I am forgiven

It's all because of what he's done for me

By his love I've been set free

Lord, you give it to me



It is wider than the widest river

Finer than the finest silver

Purer than the purest gold

I'm talking about the love that fills my soul



It is higher than the highest mountain

Fresher than a sparkling fountain

Deeper than the deepest sea

I can't believe what's happened to me



I'm talking about the love that has set me free
