LYRICS [Verse 1 — intimate, piano only] I gotta love You like You loved me first Can I endure a little discomfort So others may be saved? Can I lay down my lifestyle, My pleasures and my luxuries, To love the lost and make a way? [Pre-Chorus — begin building] The Son of Man had no place To lay His head Can I give up my couch? The extra guest room? The empty chair at my table? So my neighbour doesn't have to “Suffer like Jesus” When You already paid the price instead [Chorus — warm, memorable, congregational] Higher, deeper, wider Than the world can contain Let Your love pour through me Till nothing stays the same Higher, deeper, wider Let Your love be seen Let the world behold the Father Through Your love in me [Verse 2 — pull back slightly] He paid the price So I didn't have to Love is freely given And freely received Will I freely give Or will I pay to play In the name of love When You have already set me free? [Pre-Chorus — stronger] What is higher? What is deeper? What is wider Than the Father's love? Don't let my love be skin-deep Let Your love pour out of me Till they see the Father's heart [Chorus — bigger] Higher, deeper, wider Than the world can contain Let Your love pour through me Till nothing stays the same Higher, deeper, wider Let Your love be seen Let the world behold the Father Through Your love in me [Bridge — begin softly, then build] Let it pour higher Let it pour deeper Let it pour wider Than the world can contain Let it pour higher Let it pour deeper Let it pour wider Till every unloving thing is exposed Let His nature Let His character Let His love Saturate the soil of our hearts Let His nature Let His character Let His love Saturate the soil of our hearts [Instrumental Build] [Final Chorus — full band, soaring vocals, congregational] Higher, deeper, wider Than the world can contain Let Your love pour through us Till nothing stays the same Higher, deeper, wider Let Your love be seen Let the world behold the Father Through Your love in me [Outro — strip back] For love will bloom Where it's planted Love will bloom Where it's planted Let Your love take root in me Higher... Deeper... Wider... Let Your love take root in me.
