Lyrics

You have heard of the story of Je­sus—
Of His grace flow­ing bound­less and free,
But there’s no one can tell you the full­ness
Of His won­der­ful love for me.

Refrain

His love for me, His love for me!
High as the heav’n, deep as the sea;
Love that will last thro’ eter­ni­ty,
His love for me, His love for me!

You have heard how He blessed lit­tle child­ren:
Come, all ye that are wea­ry, said He;
So I came, and He gave me the bless­ing
Of His won­der­ful love for me.

Refrain

You have heard how the blind, as they sought Him,
Found their sight when He bade them to see;
So my sin-blind­ed eyes have been op­ened
By His won­der­ful love for me.

Refrain

You have heard how He spake to the tem­pest—
How the words, Peace, be still! calmed the sea;
So my soul found the peace that it longed for
In His won­der­ful love for me.
